“I built the multi-million music studio in OAU because I was given an honourary degree, as a Fellow of the school of music of the university.
“That was really 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 that the next generation of super stars will emernate from there.
“Also, my next album will be packaged in that studio,” 2baba said.
