BREAKING: Superstar Davido Turns Convocation Into Inspiration, Commissions Hostel Named After Late Mother At Clifford University
Afrobeats superstar, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, on Sunday, graced the 6th Convocation Ceremony of Clifford University, Owerrinta, Abia State, where he officially commissioned a female hostel named after his late mother, Dr. Veronica Adeleke, and delivered an inspiring commencement speech to the graduating class.
The emotional event, attended by dignitaries, students, and entertainment personalities, saw Davido cutting the ribbon to unveil the Veronica Adeleke Female Hostel, a project he described as a tribute to his mother’s lifelong passion for education and philanthropy.
Speaking during the ceremony, Davido urged graduates to pursue purpose-driven lives and use their gifts to impact society positively.
"When I looked into their faces, I saw the same fire that built me that hunger to be seen, to make something out of nothing, to turn pain into power,” he said.
“I told them that talent might open the door, but purpose gives it meaning.”
The singer, who is also known for his philanthropic initiatives in education, said the dedication of the hostel symbolizes his mother’s enduring influence.
“My mother, Dr. Veronica Adeleke, was a teacher and a giver who believed education and compassion could change lives. This building is a continuation of her purpose turning love into legacy,” Davido added.
In a moment that further lit up the ceremony, popular nightlife entrepreneur Cubana Chief Priest, who accompanied Davido to the event, announced a pledge to pay the school fees of 50 students of Clifford University, drawing loud applause from the audience.
The Vice Chancellor of Clifford University, Prof. Chimezie Omeonu, commended Davido for his commitment to education and youth empowerment, describing him as a role model who has continued to inspire a generation of young Africans through his music and humanitarian work.
The ceremony ended with the ribbon-cutting of the Veronica Imade Adeleke Female Hostel, attended by university management, guests, and jubilant students.
The day’s events not only celebrated Clifford University’s graduating class but also underscored Davido’s enduring message — that true greatness lies not in fame or fortune, but in the lives one touches.
