Tubaba: I Hope OAU Will Produce the Next Generation of Music Superstars

Multi award-winning Nigerian singer, Innocent Idibia better known as Tubaba has wished for students of his alma mater, Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Ile-Ife, Osun with a passion for music to become successful musicians.

He expressed his feelings while talking about why he built a multi-million-naira music studio at the OAU campus.

Tubaba said he he was honoured by the school by being made a Fellow of the School of Music, so he fulfilled his promise to build the studio to reciprocate the kind gesture.

The ‘African Queen’ star who spoke during a breakfast chat organised by The 2baba Foundation in Lagos State, explained that he extended to him by the university.

The musician said his intention was for students to have a creative space to develop their talents so that the next generation of music superstars will emanate from the school

Tubaba said: “I built the multi-million [naira] music studio in OAU because I was given an honorary degree as a Fellow of the School of Music of the university.

“That was a huge honour for me, and I promised them I was going to build a standard music studio for the school, which I did.

“My aim is to give the students a standard space for creativity, and I hope the next generation of superstars will generate from there. Also, my next album will be packaged in that studio.”
