Bankole Wellington, aka Banky W, has returned to academia after his unsuccessful bid in the 2023 Nigerian general election. The musician-turned-politician, who contested for the Eti-Osa Federal Constituency seat in Lagos State, lost to Labour Party’s Thaddeus Attah.
Undeterred, Banky W has enrolled in Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. to pursue a master’s degree in policy. He shared this update on Instagram, stating that he gave up being a CEO to become a student, prioritizing what is important over what is impressive.
This new chapter comes just two months after Banky W survived his fourth cancer surgery. He expressed gratitude for the journey of faith and requested well wishes from his followers.
