He noted that education institutions were among the most important sections of any society.
“It is the schools that produce the leaders of tomorrow; so, social development which are happening outside their walls should be taken to them.
“The music industry in Nigeria is a very strong opinion shaper in the society; getting closer to students is a very good way of influencing their thoughts and inspiring them”.
Idibia said that the Nigerian music industry had become a
force to reckon with, adding that the country was blessed with numerous talents.
“We have successfully built a veritable industry that represents the country internationally, and many talents exist in the schools.
“ I am a product of a school – the Institute of Management Technology (IMT), Enugu.
“That is one of the major reasons IMT is on my tour list.
“ It is a very emotional choice for me because the school was a very important part of my development.
“That was where Plantashun Boiz began and I have very fond memories,” Idibia said.
Idibia is set for a month-long tour of selected tertiary institutions in the country this month.
The schools include the universities of Lagos, Benin, Port-Harcourt and Abuja.
Idibia has practised as a solo artiste for almost a decade.
One of his biggest hits is the “African Queen” which is the soundtrack of a Hollywood movie, “Phat Girls’’. (NAN

Leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, Alhaji Mujaheed Dokubo-Asari, has described Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State as a traitor. According to him, since the governor joined forces with the North to work against President Goodluck Jonathan, he has betrayed the people of the Niger Delta. Dokubo-Asari, who spoke with journalists on Friday in Abuja, on Jonathan-Amaechi rift among other issues, said the 2015 general elections would “define and decide” the existence of Nigeria. But the Rivers State Commissioner for Information, Mrs. Ibim Semenitari, told  The PUNCH  that Dokubo-Asari was entitled to his opinion. She said, “I am sure those are Asari-Dokubo’s views. It is a democracy and so everybody has a right to abuse; whether those views are right or wrong is irrelevant. I do not think that as a government, we will respond to that; there is nothing to respond to in his allegations. “Dokubo-Asari has every right to his views. But whatever he wants to say, t
