Award-winning hip-hop singer, David Adeleke, popularly called Davido, has emphasised the importance of education in achieving excellence across all human endeavours, saying that it is therefore wrong for anyone to say that education is a scam.
Davido said that, with a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Babcock University, Ilisan Remo, in 2015, he’s always quick to brag to his colleagues that he went to school.
The hip-hop singer, who described music and creativity as akin to oil in present-day Nigeria, pledged to invest in the development of the music department of his alma mater with an ultra-modern building and sophisticated, standard equipment that would further help the university produce world-class graduates in music.
The Omo Baba Olowo crooner said that combining his university education programme with his music career, which was already going global, was tough, and he was almost quitting, but for the support of his billionaire father and elder brother to Osun State Governor, Dr Adedeji Adeleke, his auntie, and some other lecturers of the university.
Davido said that aside from his beautiful wife, Chioma, one other thing he took away from Babcock that has helped shape his career is discipline.
The hip-hop artiste disclosed this on Sunday while interacting with journalists during his visit to Babcock University, Ilisan Remo.
The artist was given a heroic welcome by both the university management team, led by the Vice Chancellor, Prof Afolarin Ojewole, and the students of the institution, who came out in large numbers to welcome one of them back to the university.
