The 31-year-old musician shared, “I relate a lot to life after school because I’m living proof of someone who found success after education. I went into the entertainment world after school, but I also have friends, siblings, and a father with a company. We even have a school—Adeleke University—where students graduate, and we have companies that recruit students after they finish.

Encouraging the students to focus on their futures and contribute to Nigeria’s growth, Davido said, “I’m genuinely happy to see so many people who have taken their education seriously and are prepared to focus on life after school, aiming to build a better future for Nigeria. Young people like you, like us, will lead the country forward. Education is important, so I’m here to motivate you and share some encouragement.

His song “Fall” became a record-breaking hit in 2017, making waves in the U.S. and Europe. His later albums, A Good Time and A Better Time , featured well-known international artistes. Beyond music, Davido is also known for his charity work, donating to various causes and supporting Nigerian orphanages.
