The Chancellor, Landmark University, Omu-Aran, Kwara State, Bishop David Oyedepo, has said efficient management of self, time, and resources is crucial to fulfilling destiny.
Oyedepo said this in his speech titled, ‘Espousing the virtues of responsibility’ during the ninth convocation ceremony of Landmark University.
He reminded the graduates that during the period of their study, the institution had inculcated in them the spirit of responsibility.
“Destiny is a non-transferable responsibility, you either face it or you are phased out! Responsibility is all about efficient management of self, time, and resources. United Kingdom’s former prime minister Winston Churchill quote says, “The price of greatness is responsibility”.
In her address titled, ‘The path ahead’, the institution’s Pro-chancellor, Pastor Faith Oyedepo, told the new graduates that they had a God-ordained path that would lead to the fulfillment of their assignments on earth.
She advised graduates whom she called ‘pathfinders’ to find their path, saying it was their responsibility to be persistent and locate their path.
“Your path in destiny is your place of dominion and distinction. It is in your place of destiny you find all the right relationships, opportunities, and blessings God has prepared for you”, she said.
The Vice-Chancellor of Landmark University, Prof. Charity Aremu reiterated that the institution was established to raise an army of reformers, global leaders, and solution providers that would serve as a bridge for quality manpower needed in job creation and in changing the narratives in social and economic growth.”
