The RGS Team on Ground
A 12-person crew was deployed for the Ibadan production, including 4 audio engineers and 6 riggers, alongside supporting production personnel – covering line array rigging, stage box configuration, and FOH and monitor mixing across the full show.
Challenges We Faced and How We Solved Them
The Lagos–Ibadan run is normally a straightforward approximately three-hour drive. This time, it wasn’t. The production truck, carrying the full audio system — broke down en route to Liberty Stadium, turning a three-hour trip into six.
With a client counting on an on-time setup and no room to move the load-in window, the crew resolved the fault on the road, got the truck moving again, and drove straight into load-in on arrival — no time lost to recovery, no impact to the setup schedule.
The trip back after the event took even longer: over twelve hours on the road.
It’s not the kind of thing that shows up in a run sheet, but it’s the kind of thing that determines whether a show happens on time. The crew kept moving, kept the gear intact, and got the system rigged and ready without the client ever needing to know how close the day came to a very different outcome.
