Popular Nollywood actor Lateef Adedimeji has been conferred with a Doctor of Philosophy in Art and Culture by Estam University, Benin Republic.
The honour was in recognition of his outstanding talent and remarkable accomplishments in the film industry.
Adedimeji posted on X (formerly Twitter) @TheDimejiLateef; expressing how he was moved to tears as he got adorned in the beautiful robe.
He posted, “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 am 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.”
Encomiums have since continued to pour in for the Nollywood star on social media.
