Nigerian singer and politician Olubankole Wellington, known by his stage name Banky W, has announced his pursuit of a Master’s degree in policy at Georgetown University in Washington, DC.
Banky W shared a video on Instagram detailing his experience and decision to step away from his role as CEO to become a student. He wrote, “Gave up being a CEO to become a student… because sometimes you have to let go of what’s impressive to gain what’s important. The journey of faith continues. Please wish me well.”
His wife, Adesua Etomi-Wellington, expressed her pride in his academic achievements, calling him a “true efiko” and highlighting his straight A’s so far. Adesua added, “I am DEEPLY INSPIRED by you, and I’m not saying this cause I’m your wife. If I weren’t your wife, I’d be jealous of your wife. You are the exact kind of man that impresses me. My honourable.”
Fans also praised Banky W’s dedication, viewing his decision as a powerful reminder that it is never too late to pursue one’s dreams. One fan commented, “It’s never too late to make your goals happen. Here is a reminder to anyone seeking to pick up on an endeavour. Congratulations.” Another follower added, “May God bless your efforts. May your hard work yield abundant success, leading to personal growth, professional advancement, and a greater impact on society.”
