Nollywood stars Ireti Doyle and Bob-Manuel Udokwu have received honorary doctorate degrees in arts and culture from the ISCG University in the Benin Republic.
Doyle posted photos of herself wearing an academic gown to her Instagram profile on Monday August 31st.
Doyle expressed gratitude to the Institut Superieur de Communication et de Gestion for bestowing the degree on her.
She also stated that her mother would be “proud” of her.
“I have envisaged many things for myself… and having put and still putting the work, I have a healthy expectation of receiving “accolades. But at no point did I see this coming,” she wrote.
“Mummy would have been mighty proud! Dr Doyle has a nice ring to it. @icsg_university I’m highly honoured. Thank you.
