Nigerian music executive Banky W has earned a master’s degree in Policy Management from Georgetown University, marking a major academic milestone while raising a young family in the U.S.
  • Banky W moved his family to the U.S. in 2024 to pursue public service education.
  • He balanced studies, fatherhood, and a Capitol Hill fellowship during his time in Washington.
  • The singer welcomed his second child, Hezekiah, during the program, calling the journey exhausting but fulfilling.

Banky W described the year as a “stretching season,” juggling parenting, school, and public service. Despite the exhaustion, he emphasized the importance of reflection, faith, and growth. He thanked mentors and family for their support and encouraged others to “dream a new dream.”

Banky W’s return from the “balcony” to the “dance floor” hints at a new chapter—possibly in politics or civic leadership. Could this academic leap redefine his role in Nigeria’s public space?
