Nigerian music star Omoniyi Temidayo, popularly known as Zlatan Ibile, has announced plans to return to his alma mater, Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY), for a free homecoming concert and the unveiling of a new music studio.

The rapper said his return is more than just a performance, describing it as an opportunity to reconnect with and celebrate the student community where his musical journey began.
“MAPOLY July 1st!!! MAPOLY made me before the world knew my name. Same ground, same dream, same hunger that carried me everywhere. Now I’m coming back home. Not just to perform for you, but to celebrate with you. A free show for my people. The place where it all started. Symbol Of Hope HOMECOMING. MAPOLY Sport Center, Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Ogun State,” he wrote.
Zlatan studied at MAPOLY in the early 2010s before fully pursuing his music career.

The upcoming homecoming is expected to attract students, alumni, and music lovers, while the unveiling of the music studio is seen as a move to inspire and nurture the next generation of talents emerging from the institution.
