Banky W Returns to Classroom
Bankole Wellington, popularly known as Banky W, has returned to the classroom after his defeat in the 2023 Nigerian general election. The musician-turned-politician, who ran as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the Eti-Osa Federal Constituency in Lagos State, lost to Labour Party (LP) candidate Thaddeus Attah.
In a recent Instagram post, Banky W updated his followers about his new academic pursuit. He shared that he is now working towards a master’s degree in policy at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
“Gave up being a CEO to become a student because sometimes you have to let go of what is impressive to gain what is important. I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Policy at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. The journey of faith continues. Please wish me well,” he wrote.
This return to academia comes just two months after Banky W successfully underwent his fourth cancer surgery.
