Staff at the varsity, Gbenga Oduntan spoke on Tiwa’s time as a student at the institution.

He said, “As a long time staff member, I do remember Tiwa as a student. Quiet, unassuming and mostly to be spotted around the library. Little did everyone on campus know we were incubating a star.

“Tiwa has taken Africa and indeed the world by storm in Afrobeats, R&B, pop, hip hop and soul. She is an enduring star. Tiwa proves that continuous hard work at Uni and in the outside world pays. I doff my hat to Dr. Savage.”

KanyiDaily recalls that Tiwa Savage had recently taken to social media to pay tribute to her late father while wishing he was the richest man in Africa, Aliko Dangote.
