By Award-winning Nigerian singer, David Adeleke popularly known as Davido has awarded a scholarship to a secondary school leaver to pursue a degree at Adeleke University in Osun State.
The boy identified as Morro Suleyman had broken the internet after his result for the 2021 West African Senior School Certificate Examinations (WASSCE) surfaced on social media.
Suleyman, who sat for the exam at Sunyani Senior High School (SUSEC) in the Bono Region of Ghana, obtained parallel A1 in all the nine subjects he wrote.

Last November, the self-styled ‘Omo Baba Olowo’ — son of a rich man — donated N250m to various orphanage homes across the country. The funds were raised after the singer jokingly called out his friends on social media asking them to send him money. In his usual act of generosity, Davido made a personal donation of N50 to the N200m raised in two days.
