Ace producer and music executive, Osabuohien Osaretin, popularly known as Sarz, has spoken extensively about the negative impacts of poor infrastructures, especially epileptic electricity supply, on the creative industry in Nigeria.

Appearing in a recent episode of the Afropolitan podcast, Sarz explained that unavailability of electricity at the time creatives are inspired could lead to waste of potentials.

The 36-Year-Old emphasised that despite being born and raised in Nigeria, he has never experienced electricity for 24 hours in the country.

“I was born and raised in this country and I have never experienced electricity for 24 hours. There are times when I wake up feeling inspired and I want to create music but there is not light. Sometimes, even when you want to buy fuel, they will tell you that there is a strike or scarcity. And then you end up doing nothing and the potential just wastes,” he said.

“As a creative person, you need to be mentally charged to perform at your best. So, when the infrastructure is lacking the moment you are mentally charged, it is a challenge,” Sarz added.

The producer emphasised that infrastructure is very vital for the entertainment industry to thrive, stressing that the Nigerian entertainment industry is limited by lack of infrastructure.
