One of the graduating students, Anuoluwapo Ruth, spoke at the graduation saying, “It is like a dream come true, today, I am proud to have graduated from the best music school in Nigeria. All thanks to MTN Foundation for making this dream possible.”

Day two was the graduation ceremony which was heralded by the presentation of diplomas to the graduating students, along with prizes and awards to some of them who exhibited MTN values such as Leadership, Integrity, Can-Do Spirit, Innovation and Relationship.
