Olajide Sanyaolu, tweeting from @JaySanya on Monday, announced his graduation from Afe Babalola University with first-class honours, and thanked Nigerian pop star, Davido, for helping him with money.
In Sanyaolu’s words:
– mentor sets up a gofundme for uni
– @davido dropped funds to support my fundraiser (thanks to Twitter folk)
– Resumed abuad and survived Nigerian education
– first class EEE
Davido acknowledged Sanyaolu’s appreciation tweet, saying “Crazy! Happy for you.”
In 2015, Sanyaolu – then a student of Liverpool University studying Electronics and Communications Engineering – opened a GoFundMe page to help in raising his school fees. His goal was to raise £24,700 for his tuition.
