Nigerian singer Mr Eazi has revealed that his decision to invest in a listed pharmaceutical company was inspired by his late mother’s illness, stating that the experience exposed him to the challenges many people face in accessing essential medicines.

Speaking in a recent interview with Brut, the Afrobeats star said he recently made his first investment in a pharmaceutical company listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange, Intravenous Infusions Limited (IIL).

According to him, many people questioned why an Afrobeats artiste would invest in a company that manufactures intravenous infusions, but he said the decision was deeply personal.

“I just recently invested for the first time in pharmaceuticals, in a listed company on the Ghana Stock Exchange. It’s called IIL, and a lot of people were wondering why an Afrobeats artiste is investing in a listed pharmaceutical company that makes intravenous infusion,” he said.

Mr Eazi explained that caring for his mother during her illness over the past three years changed his perspective on healthcare.

“Over the last three years my mom was ill. She eventually passed, but that brought me in close proximity with the hospital. One of the things it showed me was that a lot of people don’t have access to the basic everyday drug that they need to live,” he said.

The singer added that he witnessed people losing their lives because they either could not afford medication or ended up buying fake or substandard drugs.

“A lot of people’s lives are being cut short because they bought substandard or fake medications, or they couldn’t pay for something,” he stated.

Beyond investing in the pharmaceutical sector, Mr Eazi said his team has also begun supporting healthcare through corporate social responsibility initiatives by partnering with hospitals in Nigeria to assist patients with treatment costs.
