Cubana Chief Priest Pays School Fees For 50 Clifford University Students
Nigeria’s renowned nightlife entrepreneur and philanthropist, Cubana Chief Priest, has announced a major educational support initiative, pledging to pay the school fees of 50 students across all departments of Clifford University, Owerrinta, Abia State.
He made the declaration on Sunday during the university’s 6th Convocation Ceremony, where he accompanied his close friend and Afrobeats superstar, David Adeleke (Davido), who delivered the commencement speech and commissioned a new female hostel named after his late mother, Dr. Veronica Adeleke.
Cubana Chief Priest, whose real name is Pascal Okechukwu, said his gesture was inspired by the Adeleke family’s consistent commitment to supporting educational institutions across Nigeria, beyond their privately-owned university.
“My relationship with Davido is a pure definition that there is nothing like tribalism,” he said. “The Adeleke family is not just supporting their own university but other institutions as well. That is true generosity and leadership.”
He went on to declare: “I will pay the school fees for 50 students from every department at Clifford University. Education changes lives, and every young person deserves a chance to fulfill their dreams.”
The announcement drew loud applause from the convocation audience, which included university officials, dignitaries, parents, and students. Many described the pledge as an unexpected but deeply touching act of goodwill that will go a long way in relieving the financial burden of many families.
Cubana Chief Priest’s visit alongside Davido added colour, excitement, and humanity to what was already a memorable convocation. His words emphasized the need for unity, compassion, and investment in the next generation, values that both he and Davido have continued to champion through philanthropy.
The convocation ceremony also featured Davido’s inspiring address to graduating students, where he encouraged them to live purpose-driven lives and to use their talents for the greater good. The event climaxed with the commissioning of the Dr. Veronica Adeleke Female Hostel, a tribute to Davido’s late mother and her legacy in education.
Clifford University’s Vice Chancellor, Prof. Chimezie Omeonu, commended both Davido and Cubana Chief Priest for their humility and generosity, describing their presence as “a powerful demonstration of how influence can be used for good.”
Cubana Chief Priest’s pledge has since sparked widespread commendation across social media and educational circles, with many praising his action as a shining example of how successful Nigerians can bridge divides and make a lasting social impact.
As Clifford University celebrates its new graduates, the message from both Davido and Cubana Chief Priest rings clear: that greatness is not just about wealth or fame, but about giving others the chance to rise.
