By Ameenat Hamzat, Lagos, Nigeria 

Raoul John Njeng-Njeng popularly known as Skales has expressed gratitude to his former record label boss, Banky W, for sponsoring his university education.

Skales took to social media to announce the completion of his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, sharing an image of his certificate. He dedicated the achievement to his late mother, whom he credited for inspiring his educational journey.

In his post on X, Skales wrote: “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, who was signed to Empire Mates Entertainment (E.M.E.), a label founded by Banky W in 2009, made waves in the music industry alongside other artists, including Wizkid. Despite his rise to fame, it took several years for Skales to finally receive his university degree.
