Nollywood actor Lateef Adedimeji has bagged an honorary doctorate degree from Estam University, Cotonou, Benin.
The actor, who couldn’t contain his joy, shared the news on Instagram to celebrate with his fans and followers.
Adedimeji was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy in Art and Culture by the university to celebrate his exceptional talent and tremendous achievement in the film industry.
Speaking about how he felt as he got adorned in the robe, the actor said he was moved to tears.
“I was moved to tears as I got adorned in this beautiful robe. I have never been interested in fame, I just wanted to be happy with my craft and the lives that I inspire.
“Ladies and gentlemen, today, I have a new title, one I couldn’t have imagined would come without me facing invigilators and keeping late nights to study.
“The irony is really interesting. I burn midnight candles to master my lines and perfect my expressions, now I’m getting rewarded with what could have been if I did it for classroom reasons.
“I humbly reintroduce myself, I AM DR. ABDULLATEEF ADEDIMEJI ADETOLA, Doctor of Philosophy in Art and culture from Estam University, Benin,” he wrote.
