Mavin's singer, Korede Bello was one of the 1,341 graduands of the Nigerian Institute of Journalism that graduated with a distinction.
The

in Ogba area of Lagos State on Friday, April 20, 2018.
Korede
Bello, who had hinted his fans that he was soon to complete his studies
in the Institute in 2017, emerged the best student in Editorial
Writing.
While only seven students from the institution
graduated with a distinction, Korede Bello surprised his fans as a
brilliant mind when his name was revealed as one of the students.
The NIJ held convocation for 1,341 graduands from 2013-2017 sets - Korede Bello belonged to the 2017 set.
Hopes after school
In an interview in 2017, the singer talked about Journalism and what he hopes to achieve.
"I
am a student of journalism but am slave to music. I nursed a dream to
become a radio presenter in the past but music is my passion for now.
I
plan to star in some Nollywood films as I have been presented some
scripts, which I am presently considering. But I have just dropped my
debut album and I want people to see me as musician enough before I veer
into movies."
On life while on the campus of NUJ
Dwelling on life while studying on the campus of NUJ, Korede Bello said: " I
am grateful that I am still in NIJ if I were in a University of Lagos
undergraduate it would have been harder to manage fame because of the
frenzy. NIJ allows me be myself, everyone knew me as a wannabe musician
who became a star. My lecturers have been really supportive of my
career. I am not a stubborn student so they don’t have any issues and
they help me maintain my sanity."
