 Facility managers and maintenance practitioners are worried about the state of public facilities and infrastructure in Nigeria. Devoiced their concerns during an advocacy meeting in Lagos, which had a representative of the Minister for Works and Housing, plus TV Africa's Messi Bopo tells us more. Facility managers and maintainers are guarded here in Lagos for discussions about effective and sustainable management of public infrastructure. The attendant shows how concerned they are about the state of roads and all the facilities across Nigeria. The Minister of Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashula, is represented by the Director of Federal Public Asset Maintenance, Mrs Tina Onukwai. With the approval of the National Public Buildings Maintenance Policy by the Federal Executive Council on 9th January 2019, the facility management and maintenance of facilities is beginning to gain wider acceptance by the public and private sector. Furthermore, the Federal Government has created a new Department of Federal Public Asset Maintenance in the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing to pursue the ideas of the National Public Buildings Maintenance Policy, which in the long run will be embraced and cascaded to the states and local governments. The Nigerian Chapter President of the International Facility Management Association wants more engagement between the public and private sectors, especially with the reality of COVID-19. It gained an effective and sustainable manner of managing public facilities and infrastructure, trying to evaluate the current reality to explore the possibilities. So for us in IFMA, with a continuous engagement on our parts, it's also our new purpose to deepen our capacity around knowledge developers. It's also enlightening the public from this era of initiative to know that those public facilities are also owned by us. A major takeaway from the discussion is that Government policy is instrumental for behavioural change towards facility and infrastructure management. Another is the importance of paying attention to different stages of construction and design. Messier, Bupu, for Plus TV Africa.
