Popular Nollywood actor, Lateef Adedimeji, joyously shared on social media the conferment of a Doctorate degree on him from an international university.
As reported by ANN, Adedimeji is to be honoured with a Doctor of Philosophy degree from Estam University, in recognition of his outstanding talent and remarkable accomplishments in the film industry.
After receiving the degree, Lateef expressed that his focus had always been on finding happiness in his craft rather than seeking fame.
He wrote: “I was moved to tears as I got adorned in this beautiful robe. I have never been interested in fame, I just wanted to be happy with my craft and the lives that I inspire.
“Ladies and gentlemen, today, I have a new title, one I couldn’t have imagined would come without me facing invigilators and keeping late nights to study…
“The irony is really interesting. I burn midnight candles to master my lines and perfect my expressions, now I’m getting rewarded with what could have been if I did it for classroom reasons.
“I humbly reintroduce myself, I AM DR. ABDULLATEEF ADEDIMEJI ADETOLA, Doctor of Philosophy in Art and Culture from Estam University, Benin.”
