“It is not accidental that you came on board when the Vision for a World-Class status was caught; it is rather essential that you prove your onion as a partner in progress towards actualizing the vision”. These were the words of the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Adeniyi Olayanju at the induction of Faculty and Staff of the University, held at the International Conference Centre on 24th January, 2019

While intimating them with the purpose of the Induction, he averred that Landmark is a place for them to be, to learn and to live responsibly in order to give deserving meanings to the lives of others worldwide through providing food security. He added that, riding on the wave of uncompromising quest for excellence with improving accomplishments, Landmark is no doubt a cynosure of all eyes, even as audacious as the vision is, talk more of her compelling mission, cum lofty core values, the University is attracted to a great deal of people across the globe from all walks of life, striving to partner with her to drive for food security which is a sine qua non for existence, growth and development of any nation.

“Teeming prospective applicants to Landmark on an average of one hundred applications per day (about 30,000 per year) is a proof of relevance and impact the University commands. This is why I specially congratulate you on your success at our various screening points culminating on your receipt of employment letter. You are apparently singled out by merit from the crowd to be of good service in an institution that values collective approach to proffering solutions the society deserves.”

Professor Olayanju further noted that it is rather essential that they prove their onion as partners in progress towards actualizing the vision of the university. He added that their arrival should not rival with the team on ground, as the Institution believes that cooperation among the workforce would take the University further and higher in achievement than what competition could offer the organization. “While cooperation unites and builds, competition divides and destroys. It is wise to build synergy and bring our collective potentials to the round table in the spirit of unity to conquer our common enemy and live a life worthy of praise to our creator, God almighty.”

In a later development, the Vice-Chancellor in his presentation titled, “Partnering with Landmark in achieving Vision for a World-Class status, Understanding and espousing the overarching Vision of the University,” reiterated that Covenant University got the prophetic verdict of vision 10:2022 from the Chancellor, Dr. David Oyedeop in 2012 and it is already becoming a reality, as Landmark University is also ready to key-in noting that both Universities are of the same gene.

After signposting the areas of fundamental interest in the drive towards the realization of vision for a World-Class status, he enthused the participants to make most of the assorted visionary and inspiring lectures that would enable them fulfill destiny in Landmark and the world in general.

The Registrar, Dr. James Ndako speaking on “Driving Efficiency - Administrative Structures and processes at Landmark,” he stated that the Registry of Landmark University is saddled basically with the responsibilities of managing students’ academic activities from admission to convocation and staff welfare from entry to exit, with scope of work that is as wide as it is diverse. He noted that there are 8 component units seamlessly linked and centrally coordinated with a single line of reportage to the Registrar, as they assist in ensuring a prudent management of the resources and asset base of the University through curbing wastes in all its ramifications and the proper channeling of resources which are in line with the aspirations of the Proprietors’ platform in line with stipulated policies and administrative processes.

Other presenters were the Director, Financial Services, Fadoju, Oludare Samuel who spoke on “Financial Responsibilities of Faculty and Staff- Monthly Deductions from Salary”, Director, Physical Planning and Development, Arch. Olaonipekun Oluwasegun, who spoke on World Class Approach to Infrastructure and Facility Usage, and that of the University Chaplain, Pastor Tope Johnson, on Spirituality, an Essential in Attaining Excellence in Life and Career.

Unemployment rate in Nigeria is terrible

Nigeria is in trouble, the joblessness in this country is reaching a new height. And the most crazy thing is the president and his team have no blueprint on how to reinvigorate the economy and then create jobs for millions of Nigerian youths.

With all due respect it is clear that the president, Buhari lacks vision, direction and more importantly a belief in the Nigerian system and that is why he finds comfort and trust in the hands of English doctors. Prefers his kids schooling abroad and all of that.

You may advocate for a cabinet of technocrats to support a President who has no sense of direction or vision or who is so detached from his people's problems but the best ministers in the world can not transform a country, only a President can.

Our hopes, aspirations, inspiration is summed up in the person of the president because only the president is truly elected by the totality of the Nigerian people but Buhari is clearly not it. He lacks the capacity to lead or inspire nor does he understand the magnanimity of the office he carries.

This coming election you have a chance to fix things. To make a bold statement that goodluck was not good enough, that buhari was not good enough and that if Atiku is not good enough in the next four years you would kick him out.

It's not stated anywhere that the 30,000 applications started with this administration. You just sought another way to haul blames at the present government. When has the unemployment rate ever been low?

Sad but true.
The problem I have is with the nonchalant and selfish populace who can't ask intelligent questions.
If as a oil producing and partially refining nation we can employ 100,000 hands in refining less than 20% of our oil, why can't we refine it 100% and employ 500,000 gainfully? Nigerians hardly understand how nations utilize wealth.
Don't be surprised most of those applicants have one or two low paying job like n-power.
Why can't we produce refined petroleum and gainfully employ millions.

Why do you people keep referring to the past?
I don't give a damn about the past because I can't change it. What is your candidate doing about the future?

Obj could blame the military era, Gej could blame Obj, buhari could also blame Gej. But is that the game you want politicians to play with your life while you continue wallowing in poverty?

It was Theodore Roosevelt who single handedly delivered America from the hands of evil capitalist. It was Lee Kuan yew who set the pace for today's Singapore. What has Buhari done in Nigeria today that can stand the test of time?

India just sent a satellite to space, Pakistan now has twelve of its public universities ranked world class where Nigeria has only one. Every nation our type is making slow progress but we are moving in circles.
The problem of the Blackman is tolerance. We tolerate a lot of bullshit. You know why USA, Europe continues to develop - It is because the white man is less tolerant to mediocre leadership.

If the unemployment rate is high, what is government doing about it? Is N-power or trademoni a sensible idea to you? What happens to the factory owner and potential employer in Nnewi, Anambra whose business is suffering because of epileptic power supply? Isnt the Commonwealth of a nation meant to provide things the people share in common? What is the wisdom in using a criteria that can be faked - poverty to share trade-money?
Do you guys think at all. Can we hold the past admin responsible? is a bad performance from past admin a valid excuse for govt to waste our time? Do you guys think at all?

Thank you, the world was created in one day. Why would some countries develop and others not develop. It is simply because of a knowledge gap and mediocre leaders. I'm really hating this narrative that I have to run away to a foreign country to seek fulfillment. To me it's a Coward's way out. But why should anyone not take that option when the majority of Nigerian people are mentally enslaved and can't see their oppressors.

I really believed that bullshit that buhari had integrity but when I saw him romanticising tinubu I knew it was a hoax. If you really hate something you would never be able to sit in the same room with people who practice it talk less of enlisting them as your political benefactors. A corrupt man will never endorse a righteous man and a righteous man will never endorse a corrupt man.

The people of Nigeria are not woke at all. They claim this man is fighting corruption, he is not fighting corruption but the opposition.
