Singer and politician Olubankole Wellington, widely known as Banky W, has revealed his pursuit of a master’s degree in policy at Georgetown University, Washington DC, United States.
Banky W shared this news on Thursday, posting a video on Instagram that shows him in a classroom setting among other scenes.
In his heartfelt message, he asked his fans for their best wishes.
“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. Currently pursuing a master’s in policy at Georgetown University in Washington DC. The journey of faith continues. Please wish me well,” he stated.
His wife, actress Adesua Etomi-Wellington, proudly commented on his post, “I just want everyone to know that my husband is a true efiko and has gotten A’s so far. I’m soooo proud.”
Banky W, 43, exemplifies the idea that learning is a lifelong endeavour.
Despite his successful career as an artiste, music executive, being a devoted father and husband, he has taken this bold step to further his education.
In May, Banky W shared a personal milestone, revealing he had survived a fourth cancer surgery.
In a video, he expressed gratitude to God and thanked his wife, family, friends, and pastors.
He reflected on his journey, saying, “Sometimes, your faith in God will not prevent the storms from coming … but it will carry you through them. Faith won’t always stop you from hurting, but it will help you heal, and it will help you deal. God never said the weapons wouldn’t form, He promised they wouldn’t prosper.”
