Etomi, who graduated from the University in 2009 with a degree in Drama & Performance, was described as “one of most in-demand, versatile and successful” actresses in Africa.

The university in a statement said it awarded the actress a Doctor of Arts in recognition for “her phenomenal contribution to arts and culture”.

The statement reads, “Adesua Etomi-Wellington, a Nigerian Nollywood actor, who graduated with a degree in Drama & Performance in 2009 from the University, has been awarded a Doctor of Arts in recognition of her phenomenal contribution to arts and culture.

“Adesua is one of the most in-demand, versatile and successful talents from the African continent. She has starred in many of the most successful Nollywood blockbuster movies of all time and has a global following of millions on Social Media.”

Speaking about her time as a student at the institution, Etomu said: “My experience at Wolverhampton was literally life-changing – it is the foundation upon which my career has been built.

“When I enrolled on my course in 2006 I was not confident at all. There is silent confidence that comes as a result of being informed and knowledgeable.

“I was taught to believe in my natural abilities but also put those abilities to good use. I was taught that talent is great but you need to be hard working to achieve it.

“This award is very humbling for me and I hope that it inspires prospective and current students to pursue careers in the creative industries.”
