Landmark University - 2014/2015 ADMISSION: MAKING LANDMARK UNIVERSITY YOUR CHOICE

[LMU]

Article written by Joseph Olajide, Assistant Registrar, Vice-Chancellor's Office

It is axiomatic that decision determines destiny. Decision made today will shape what you will become tomorrow and the kinds of results you will get. Every successful person you see today has made one decision or the other and, in the long run, those decisions paved their way to success. So, a man is known or revealed by his choice.

Landmark University is a veritable citadel of knowledge with avowed commitment to give clinically a balanced and well-rounded education to its students. Passionately set in motion to raise an army of global problem-shooters in fulfillment of their divine nature in the human form, Landmark University is purposefully structured to deeply influence the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual development of the students.

We promote academic excellence without prejudice to socio-cultural and moral values in an environment that permits biblical injunctions. The harmonious relationship that permeates the Management, Faculty, Staff and Students enhances smooth running of the school programmes. So, the students complete their programmes as at when due. And far from being liabilities to the society, our students at graduation are refined assets to fix societal problems especially in the areas of job creation and food security.

In his book, "Thinking for a Change", Dr. John Maxwell says 'the right thought, plus right people, in the right environment, at the right time, for the right reason, always produces the right result'. Providently, Landmark University is richly blessed with the composite indices of the right result, postulated by Dr. John Maxwell. Little wonder then, the University is ranked 15^th position among all the 113 Universities in Nigeria by 2014 University Web Ranking.

The Ranking Web or Webometrics is the largest academic ranking of Higher Education Institutions across the globe. The Cybermetrics Lab (Spanish National Research Council, CSIS) took a giant stride in 2004 by performing an independent and scientific exercise that yielded reliable and useful information about the performance of Universities from all over the World.

Ever since then, the exercise is performed and result released every six months. Twice a year the independent, objective, free, open and scientific exercise with its attendant reliable, multidimensional, updated and useful information is made available on the Web. The most recent, released in January 2014 is our reference point where Landmark University, by analysis took 3^rd position among the Private Universities in Nigeria. It is delightful to note that Covenant University, with which we share Proprietorship, took the lead among the Private Universities, having ranked 10^th position among all the 113 Universities in Nigeria.

This is a living proof of a living vision to launch with a difference into the space of University Education and set the pace with the might of the Almighty. It is more gratifying to observe that Landmark University which is barely 3 years old ranked above 98 Universities in Nigeria, some of which are more than a decade older. This commendable feat is credited to the partnership with Almighty God, then the huge investment of the Proprietor, Dr. David Oyedepo, and the display of best practice professionalism of the Faculty and Staff of the University.

A timely guide at this juncture is paramount. This underscores my sincere suggestion that you should wisely opt for Landmark University. A visit to the University will convince you that we are quintessential World-Class Institution with beautiful landscape, topmost facilities and flagrant aura. A glimpse of our e-classes and e-library will make you trot the globe in a jiffy. An inspirational and fatherly charge from the Chancellor, Pro-Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor will propel you into the fold of possibility mentality. A ministration under the Chaplain will make you feel the heaven and operate in God's Kingdom on earth. An interaction with the Faculty and Staff will confirm that they are the custodians of academic haven. And a chat with our students will make you concur that they are surely loaded and securely guided to trail the blaze in the World.

What then are you waiting for? To us at Landmark University, time is very precious. We are committed not to waste it. Actually, we hit the wave of University Education to express our dissatisfaction for the prevalent waste culture, inertia syndrome and dependency attitude, and articulate the alternative, profitable and dignified means of maximizing our potentials by providing solutions to the nagging issues world-over. Why would you not make up your mind now to come on board and associate with the solution providers? Here, you will not only get rich value for your time and resources but also get your dream actualized, for we are partners in progress.

As a matter of fact, we are well schooled by the Ecclesiastes who asserts that 'there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven'. In line with this is the English Aphorism which urges mankind to 'make hay while the sun shines'. Corroborating this is the nugget from our Chancellor, while charging the students at the 2014 Kingdom Life Conference, to be decisive and prompt at doing what is worthwhile. 'Early to Rise is Early to Shine,' the Servant of God sensitized the youngsters.

It is against this backdrop, we counsel that you make Landmark University your choice now and occupy the limited vacancy as we strictly subscribe to quality and not quantity. Notice that God has empowered you with the ability to make the right choices in life and act on them.

At Landmark University, we do not brew casualties but we breed capacities because we possess the divine capability. You should therefore decide wisely by making Landmark University your choice.
