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)
