Landmark University Omu-Aran, Kawra State, is the first private university of Agriculture established by the Living Faith Church a.k.a. Winners Chapel, founded by the popular Bishop David Oyedepo. Established nine years ago following the earlier establishment of her sister institution —Covenant University in Ota, Ogun State in October 2002, the university’s mandate is to drive agrarian revolution in the black continent.
Why are we emphasising on Scopus Index Journal? There is this body, Times Higher Education , which rates universities all over the world, and what they use is the Scopus Index Journal. And for a university to appear in their rating at all, such institution must have at least 150 publications in their journal in a year. So, it was only last year we were able to meet that benchmark. And this year, we already have 135, meaning that we need to have just 15 more to meet the same benchmark.
Let me also add that we have what we call the departure philosophy. There is this wise saying that if you are doing the same thing, the same way and expect a different result, then something must be wrong with you. So, we have our own departure philosophy, to the glory of God. This is why there is no way you can find cultism on this campus. As we notice the traits, it is as good as gone. We do not care even if you are a child of a governor or president. The law says ‘expel’.
When they , go to the market, are they not serving Nigerians? So why the dichotomy? We are already pushing that from the Association of Vice Chancellors of Private Universities. You will agree with me that TETFund is helping a lot in federal and state universities.First of all, we instil it in them that no matter their profession or specialisation, there is no software for growing food. You must plant crops and rear animals.
But it is obvious that most youths are running away from farming because they can’t afford to use traditional farming tools or soil their hands with wet soil. There is another aspect of hydroponics called nutrients feed technique . You and I know that farmers/herdsmen clashes have become a national embarrassment portraying our country in bad light. But it might also interest you that hydroponics can address the herdsmen-farmers issue and we are already working on that. In Landmark, we can grow grasses under the hydroponics system within seven and nine days.
Too late. Many of the herdsmen are no longer after grazing lands. They are now into full time kidnapping business
Yeah , maybe the farmers should now farm in the sky to avoid the cows 🐄 from encroaching to the farm produce . Simple solution. Keep your cows and bring food to them it’s not rocket science
