Music superstar Davido is taking time out to do
something inspiring.
He has set up a scholarship program to ensure that as
many people as he can help get education actually do.
The artiste, whose father is a billionaire, made this
known on Tuesday, in a post on his Instagram page.
“I plan to send people to school every year”, said
Davido, who also revealed that the scholarship will be
in his late mother’s name.
“So many people deserve education.. Starting from this
year I plan to start the Veronica Adeleke Education
Scholarship program.”
“I’m starting from 4 students this year details will be
released soon on how to apply. Do your part to make
the world better, even if you start small… at least start”,
the artiste said.

on how to apply…. DO YOUR PART TO MAKE THE
WORLD BETTER , EVEN IF YOU START SMALL .. AT
LEAST START! OBO!”
The singer, fondly called Omo Baba Olowo (OBO), has a
history of granting education aid.
Davido once promised to take a little boy out of street
hawking business and pay for his education up until
the university level.
“Every child deserves an education but it’s sad that,
that is not the case in the world today but if we all do
our part, the world would be a better place. God bless
his soul. I am ready to give him education till he
finishes university”, the artiste had announced on
social media.
In another instance, the HKN label boss, tweeted that he
was in the mood to give out an unspecified amount of
money.
After getting tons of requests from fans, Davido settled
on Jide Sanyaolu, a Nigerian who had just dropped out
of the University of Liverpool, UK.
Jide, who was studying Electronics and
Communications Engineering, had taken a year’s break
from school because his parents couldn’t afford the
£24,700 tuition required to continue his studies.
Despite having raised £4000 in donations from crowd-
funding platform, gofundme.com, Davido offered to give
him an additional N1 million to clear his school fees.
Davido, who recently graduated from Babcock
University, has a strong educational background.
His late mother, Dr Veronica Imade Adeleke, who died
in 2003, was a lecturer at Babcock University, an
institution where her husband has a substantial stake.
Davido’s father, Deji Adeleke is also the pro-chancellor
of privately owned Adeleke University, in Ede, Osun
state.
