Key Points
- He makes a pledge at Clifford convocation today. Fifty students will receive tuition support this year.
- He cites service to people as key motive. He frames the help as simple duty today.
- He recalls funding three hundred polytechnic students earlier. He says funds flow again soon for fees.
Cubana Chief Priest (Pascal Okechukwu) pledges fees for fifty students. He speaks during Clifford University’s weekend commencement ceremony in Abia. He salutes Davido (David Adeleke) while honouring his late mother.
He says three hundred Nekede students got fees support earlier this year. The new pledge targets fifty Clifford University students through the bursary. It came as Davido opened the Veronica Adeleke female hostel on campus.
What he said on stage
He told guests that giving back should be routine, not hype. He called tuition “na water”, a line to stress quick help. He closed with “education under the shadow of love” as pledge.
Why the pledge matters
His earlier aid covered three hundred students at Nekede Polytechnic. He did not list names or a timetable, but promised transparency. He asked followers to stay tuned for details from the school.
Observers note the pledge came during a high point for the campus. The hostel launch and convocation drew leaders, alumni, staff, and families. Many students praised a plan that targets fees relief over public gifts.
The university is yet to share selection rules for the support. Students should await official guidance from the bursar and registry. For context on Davido’s link, see this Davido G Wagon showroom clip.
