Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage has bagged an honorary doctorate degree in music at the University of Kent in the United Kingdom (UK).
The varsity took to its Twitter page on Friday to celebrate the music star who is an alma mater of the institution, having completed her first degree in Business Administration at Kent.
“Congratulations Dr @TiwaSavage! We’re super proud to have awarded the Queen of Afrobeats an honorary doctorate at Canterbury Cathedral this morning,” it wrote.
In a video, Tiwa Savage also celebrated the varsity’s 2022 graduating class and urged them not to give up on their dreams.
“I’m super proud and I want you to go out there, have fun and kill it. Be the best you that you can be because you truly deserve it,” she said.
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.
