Nigerian Artiste, Davido awards 5-year scholarship to poor boy who cannot afford university education despite having 100% score in high school

Morro Suleyman, an impoverished student from Ghana, Africa, has been offered a 4 or 5-year fully-financed scholarship to Adeleke University in South-West Nigeria by Nigerian musician David Adeleke, also known by his stage name Davido.

Suleyman was the top student in his school, Sunyani Senior High School, and scored highly on the West African Examination Council (WAEC) test. Unfortunately, financial limitations had prevented him from continuing his education after high school.

News of Suleyman’s plight spread when Nana Yaw shared his story on Twitter and prayed for financial assistance. This caught the attention of Davido, who started searching for the young man to offer him help. After some time, he found Suleyman and provided him with the full scholarship.
