LANDMARK UNIVERSITY WINS 2015 SOIL SCIENCE SOCIETY OF NIGERIA HOSTING RIGHT

Landmark University has been awarded the hosting right of the 39^th Annual Conference of Soil Science Society of Nigeria slated for March 2015. This is a week-long professional gathering of scholars across the globe. Expected at the Conference are Corporate members from various Universities, Colleges, Research Institutes and the Private Sector to brainstorm on current Agriculture-related issues with a view to proffering solutions.

The significance of this Conference to the University cannot be over-emphasized. Firstly, Landmark University will be the first Private University to host the Conference since inception four decades ago. Also the hosting right is a validation of the University’s institutional focus, being the only private University in Nigeria engaged in dogged pursuit of Agriculture as a programme of study.
The University could not have won the prestigious hosting right without meeting some sterling qualities.  Among these are the institutional proactive leadership, staff pedigree in the Soil Science Department, institutional inclination towards an Agricultural Revolution and the track record of the Chairman, Local Organising Committee, Professor O.O. Agbede, who is also a Fellow of the Soil Science Society of Nigeria (FSSSN) and an eminent Professor of the University.
