semester, students of University of
Benin, one of Nigeria's prestigious
higher institutions of learning, had
cause to be extremely excited when
Africa's singing sensation, Tuface in
collaboration with Amstel Malta, the
number one premium low sugar malt
drink in Nigeria stormed the campus.
The university was already agog when
the news filtered through that Tubaba
as Tuface is fondly called by fans,
would be performing in the school in
the ongoing Campus Connect Tour of
Tuface and friends.
As expected, it was a complete
shutdown as the event witnessed a
mammoth crowd. Over five thousand
students were in attendance and the
University sports complex -venue of
the concert – was a beehive of
heightened activity.
Giving the rationale behind Amstel
Malta'a partnership with Tuface and
friends, Mrs. Adedoyin Owotomo,
Brand Manager Amstel Malta, said,
"Our partnership with Tuface is borne
out of the desire to encourage our
consumers at all levels to be the best
in whatever they find themselves
doing".
After a thrilling performance that kept
the students on their toes for hours, an
excited Tuface Idibia, thanked the
crowd for coming out to listen to him
and his friends and promised to revisit
the school again.
Tuface Idibia expressed his excitement
about the tour. "I am really excited
about this partnership with Amstel
Malta and looking forward to more of
this. It has been a long time that I
interacted with the students; it is going
to be an emotional return to these
campuses. I have received and still
enjoy massive support from these
spots. They are my 'personal' people."
Some of the students commended
Tuface for coming to perform and for
"warming" them up as the new
semester begins. Harrison Pius, a 200
level student of Political Science, who
sang along with Tuface all through his
performance, described the show as
inspiring and exciting. "This is my first
event since I was admitted into this
campus and it has been on point.
Some people have tried to organize
shows on this campus promising to
bring big names but at the end of the
day they never show up. Amstel Malta
has given us something that I would
never forget for a long time to come.
They have given me the platform to
be the best I can be." he said.
Another student Jackson, a 300 level
student of Chemical Engineering,
described Tuface's performance and
even coming to his campus as a
dream come true for. In his own
words, "I have always fantasized
myself standing before Tuface Idibia
performing live. Even at home,
members of my family know that
there is no music that soothes me
except Tubaba himself". He described
himself as a die-hard fan. "If Tubaba
was a pastor, I will be attending his
church, if he was a movement, I will
lead others to follow him".
Similarly, an aspiring young singer on
campus, Lima, a 100 level student of
Bio Chemistry, shared her venture into
music which she said was inspired by
Tuface Idibia's consistency and
originality in the music industry has
proven to be one of the best. "I have
looked up to Tuface and will continue
to hold him in high esteem. And my
thanks go to Amstel Malta for creating
this platform"
Tubaba is stomping the yard with a
line-up of friends that guarantees an
unforgettable experience for fans.
Hypertek's hot boys Dammy Krane
and Rocksteady alongside Vector, and
long-time collaborator Sound Sultan
are rearing to go.
Other class acts billed for the tour
include Sasha P, Seyi Shey, Timi
Dakolo, Phyno, Crystals, Harrisong,
Capital F.E.M.I Solid Star and Jus'
Kiddin's EFA. NM En.Core's Helen
Emoh Abutu, project manager for
Campus Connect Tour assured fans of
a wonderful time. " We are going to
four other campuses as the tour
continues with the support of Amstel
Malta and some of the best media,
technical, security and logistics
support outfits in the game"
she says.
The next show is billed for May 14 at
the University of Port Harcourt and
Institute of Management and
Technology, Enugu on May 16, while
University of Abuja will come alive on
May 23.
