Why I established SAJET Production and Entertainment in Nigeria…Shey Ajet

By Ayo Ademokoya

“My father used to run the business of renting out video cameras which to cameramen for various occasions back in the days. It’s just a part time job for him as he was an accountant who excelled in his chosen career but had soft spot for other businesses too.

As a 7 years old child, my love for video recording  grew eveveryday and my passion for film production began to wax stronger.It became a dream which I had accomplished in the United Kingdom since and running a first class film and photography studio in Nigeria having done that successfully in the United Kingdom is now a dream come true.”

These are the words of CEO Sajet Production and entertainment, Mr Shey Ajet while taking www.harohkah.blogspot.com.ng round the new office complex of his production outfit in Nigeria located at no 22, church street, Keripe, Shagamu Ogun State recently.

“This is our headquarters in Nigeria while we have branches at Ogba, Lagos and Felele Ibadan’he said

On why the choice of Shagamu, Ogun State ahead of Lagos, Shey said he chose Shagamu because of the serenity of the town and its proximity to Lagos.

“There is no point locating the headquarters of the business in Lagos when most companies in Lagos are moving to Mowe/Ibafo axis for one reason or the other. I just felt that for us to be more creative it’s better to be here in Shagamu, at least there is much sanity in the environment and the serenity here is  unlike Lagos .

The Lagos office at Ogba County, would serve mainly marketing purposes but our studio recordings and other post production would take place in Shagamu, Ogun state. Work has also commenced at our Ibadan branch office too.

On the type of production equipment available shay said he is not taking Nigerian for granted. “Look if anyone take Nigerian film production for granted that person is doomed, the more reason I shopped for the best and the latest cameras, from Black Magic to the latest in Cannon, Fog machines, lighting equipments etc.

“Another reason why I decided to invest in Nigeria is because I need to provide jobs for our youths and SAJET Productions and entertainment is design purposely to do that and Im happy to tell you that we have trained able bodied young men in these area and we we are still willing to empower more youths.

“Finally, we all know that Nollywood is one of the biggest industry in the world. Apart from Hollywood and Bollywood, Nollywood is closing up on them and this the time I believe I can contribute my own quota to Nollywood as well. He concluded.

The studio was officially opened on Saturday the 5^th of March 2016
