Rema recently got in the news after pleading with the Academic Staff Union of Universities to call off the strike, which has plagued Nigerian federal and state university for over two months.

In the interview, Rema said he couldn’t wait for school to resume because he was in town at the moment.

“I’m in town and can’t wait to check in with school,” he said.

Speaking on how he’d manage his music career and schooling, Rema affirmed that once school resumed, he was going to figure it out.

He said, “Most decisions I’ve made in my life, I’ll not say everything has a 100% plan. Sometimes I just go for it because I believe that I can do it however it turns out.

“But sometimes I just try. If I see it doesn’t work, I just stop. But if I see it works, I move with it. But at least, I tried. That’s strength.”
