Singer, actor, and politician Bankole Wellington, widely known as Banky W, has completed a master’s degree in policy management from Georgetown University, Washington, D.C.

The 44-year-old shared the news with fans on Tuesday via , posting photos from the graduation ceremony alongside family and friends.

Reflecting on his academic journey, Banky W expressed gratitude and resilience. “Faith gives you the courage, resilience, and power to redefine endings. What many may see as the finish line of a journey can become the starting point of the next chapter of your story,” he wrote.

Banky revealed that the past few years had been a time of growth and introspection for him and his family. Balancing his studies at Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy with parenting duties was a significant challenge, especially as he and his wife, actress Adesua Etomi, welcomed their second child during his academic programme.

“Parenting two children in the US, while earning a full-time Master’s and serving as a Fellow on Capitol Hill, was completely exhausting. But by the grace of God, the strength of faith, and the support of family, friends, and mentors, we did it,” he wrote.

The singer also paid a heartfelt tribute to his wife, fondly called Susu, for her unwavering support throughout his journey. He humorously added that while he is considering pursuing a PhD next, his wife jokingly suggested he might need another partner for that endeavour.

Banky W and Adesua, who tied the knot in 2017 after co-starring in the Nollywood blockbuster The Wedding Party, are proud parents of two sons—Haziah, born in 2021, and Hezekiah, born in 2024.
