Davido was the only student of his department (Music) to graduate yesterday at the 13th Babcock University Convocation Ceremony which was attended by The Adeleke’s Don Jazzy, Reekado Banks & Godswill Akpabio. This is because the music star was the pioneer student of the department which was set up 3 years ago.

Another interesting fact is that Davido’s billionaire dad who insisted his son get a University degree was the one who set up the music department of the school, which is why Davido was the pioneer student.



Bilionaire things! The Music Department’s Head of department, Olusegun Ojuola revealed this to NET, when speaking on the growth of the department

Well, it’s really a long journey, because it’s through the help of Dr Deji Adeleke that the department was developed over three and half years ago. But we actually started admitting (students) in 2012.

Now the department has 27 students including Kamal Ajiboye (Davido’s manager) and Shizi (his producer), both of whom are set to graduate next year.

Davido, whose thesis was on the topic: ‘Challenges of Live Performance of Afro-pop artists in Nigeria’ was also described in glowing terms by Ojuola, who said yesterday during the convocation ceremony

The first thing I try to do is to dichotomise the artiste from the student. The Davido I know is an artiste, but the student I admitted into the department is Adedeji David Adeleke and the relationship has been like that all through. But I can tell you this much, that David is a very very brilliant and very obedient student. When I say Obedient, you can see that in terms of humility. Anytime David is in school, he knows he’s in school as a student.
