Nigerian artiste, Korede Bello, has graduated from the Nigerian Institute of Journalism with a distinction.

The singer and songwriter now hold a Higher National Diploma in Mass Communication.

NIJ held its combined convocation on Friday, for 1,341 graduands from 2013-2017 sets.

Bello was among the seven students that graduated with distinction in his set.

He also emerged the best student in Editorial Writing.

Korede Bello, who is part of the 2017 graduating members of the Institute, had described himself as a slave to music.

He said,

“I am a student of journalism but I’m a 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.”
