“Even though I already have an OND from Kwara State Polytechnic, I still want to further my education so I can understand my music royalties and business deals better, especially for my record label, Zeh Nation.”

He explained that his aim is to build the knowledge and discipline needed to handle his finances, contracts, and royalties efficiently, ensuring his brand and platforms are professionally managed.

Portable emphasised that his return to school is not merely about obtaining another certificate but about acquiring practical skills to run his music enterprise like a seasoned entrepreneur.

The singer, known for his outspoken personality and energetic performances, said education would empower him to take full control of his career and secure a sustainable future in the entertainment industry.
