Nigerian singer Skales has expressed his gratitude to his former record label boss, Banky W, for sponsoring his university education. On Thursday, Skales shared a post on X, revealing that he had just received his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration certificate, many years after graduating. In his post, he dedicated the achievement to his late mother and thanked Banky W for supporting his education.
Skales captioned the photo of his certificate, saying, “Aye my BSc showed up after many years of graduation! This is for my mother and thank you to @BankyW for sponsoring the boy through school.”
Skales signed with Banky W’s record label, Empire Mates Entertainment (E.M.E), in 2009, and was part of the label until 2014 when his contract expired. It is believed that Banky W enrolled Skales and his former label mate, Wizkid, in Lead City University, though Wizkid later dropped out to focus on his music career.
This heartfelt post from Skales highlights the significance of education and the support he received early in his career.
