Onabrakpeya made this assertion during an inaugural public art exhibition tagged: La Vie (Life) at Didi Museum, Lagos.
The exhibition had 26 creative paintings displayed by a 17-year-old girl, Ayomide Fadase, who is passionate about creativity and interested in charity.
Onabrakpeya urged government to recognise talents in the art who may not have funds to develop their talents by sponsoring and providing them the platform to showcase their talents.
