The MTN Project Fame 6 winner, Olawale Ojo has completed his NYSC program in Cross River State on Thursday, November 3, 2017.
Olawale who served in the state capital, Port Harcourt explained the reason for his disappearance in the music scene.
The singer said that his absence in the industry was due to his resolve to go back to school to complete his tertiary education after winning the contest.
According to Adeyemi, Olawale who graduated from the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomosho said it was difficult for him to combine music and academics.
