Born Olamilekan Agbelese, the reality star has been vocal about the challenges in the Nigerian educational sector.

In 2021, he revealed how the Non-Academic Staff of Universities (NASU) strike once denied him the opportunity to study in the United Kingdom.

Last year, the TV star also hit out at the federal government over the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike — which lasted for almost eight months.

Laycon has continued to enjoy fame in the country’s entertainment industry.
