A Benin Republic university has awarded Nollywood actor Lateef Oladimeji an honorary doctorate degree in the field of art and culture.
The renowned actor posted a heartfelt statement about his most recent achievement on Tuesday, November 28, 2023, on his Instagram page.
The inspirational moment the actor received the honor, given by representatives of the university in recognition of his contributions to his industry, was captured on camera and shared online.
Lateef went on to acknowledge the great honour received, noting it as the fruit of his labour for his dedication and hard work in his field.
He added, “The irony is really interesting. I burned midnight candles to master my lines and perfect my expressions, and 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.”
The honored actor is now among the notable Nigerian celebrities who have been showered with accolades in their respective fields. Nigerians celebrated reality star Frodd and Mr. Macaroni earlier in November after they were both awarded honorary doctorates on the same weekend.
