Prof Obayan described the agrarian drive of LMU a 'masterpiece' that has brought the institution accolades and a testimony of its success. The university which held its third convocation in August, would remain resolute towards restoring the 'dignity of the black man' through sustainable agriculture, Obaya added.

Shewho presented a proposal to the governor on behalf of the institution, praised Kwara State government for instituting some agricultural programmes that have further portrayed the sector as a serious business. She also identified likely areas of partnership the university is considering with government.

In his response, Alhaji Abdulfatah, described the proposal of the university as a 'welcome development'.

The governor eulogised the Chancellor/Founder Dr David Oyedepo for his contributions to human capital development of Kwara State in particular and the nation in general. He also identified with LMU agrarian drive which according to him, also focuses on resuscitating the nation's economy.

The high point of the visit was the presentation of a customised portrait which bears the governor’s portrait as well as LMU signature.
