About 570 students received various degree certificates during the 2nd Convocation Ceremony of Landmark University, Omu-Aran in Kwara state, which took place on Friday.
A breakdown of the figure showed that 298 females and 272 male graduated from the institution’s three colleges with 59 of the total bagging First Class Honours.
In his address, the Institution’s Chancellor, Bishop David Oyedepo, said that the time was ripe for stakeholders to proffer a lasting solution to the nation’s perennial food insufficiency and poverty challenges to ensure desired growth and development for the country.
He described agriculture as a catalyst for the nation’s socio-economic development and major employer of labour if properly harnessed.
The Vice-Chancellor of the University, Prof. Joseph Afolayan, said the institution was vigorously pursuing infrastructural development plans that would enhance effective teaching and learning.
Afolayan said the institution was also improving its community relations with the host community and its neighbours so that the impact of the new innovation in modern agriculture methods and techniques could be felt by them. (NAN)
