After he completed his bachelor’s degree in Dramatic Arts at the Obafemi Awolowo University, in 2015, Lala has again earned himself a Master’s Degree in Theatre Arts at the University of Lagos.
The ceremony, held yesterday, in the institution saw Lala being decorated as a master’s holder amidst fellow graduates with cheers.
According to the actor, the development was a great accomplishment and a testament to his passion for education.
“I am sincerely grateful to the Almighty for this rare privilege. I have always had a burning passion for attaining a greater height in education from my tender age and I thank God I achieved the dream despite fame and other engagements.
“This is a stepping stone for me to greater achievements because I am not relenting. I want to attain the highest level of education. I am grateful to God for the success of my second-degree education. It took me concerted effort in achieving this because there were lots of distractions, but I bless Allah that it eventually became a success,” he added.
The Osun State-born actor-cum-movie director said that despite his poor background as a son of a late farmer and a trader (son of an okra seller), he was proud to attain success in his academics.
Lala had his primary education at the Ansar-Rudeen (AUD) Primary School, Isale Osun, Osogbo, and his secondary education at the Mosifa Community Grammar School, Osun State.
His acting career had a facelift in 1992 when he join Dagunro Theater Group. He has featured, produced, and directed many movies.
The popular actor, who is in the news again on a good note, will also in a few days add another year on January 28, a development which will make the actor experience a double celebration within a month.
