As professionals in the Nigerian built environment converged in Lagos to mark this year’s ‘World Facility Management Day’, facility managers and other stakeholders have called for synergy among players in the sector towards achieving an excellent built environment.
While the industry players in the built environment continue to change the narratives towards sustainable progress in strategic collaboration with public institutions for a better operating environment for facility management (FM) in Nigeria; stakeholders are of the view that better synergy among players in the sector will deepen FM.
The event which recently took place at the University of Lagos had the theme “Celebrating FM: Standing tall beyond the Pandemic”.
Addressing stakeholders nationwide, at the celebration, the President of the International Facility Management Association (IFMA), Nigerian Chapter, Segun Adebayo said the event in line with the global practice that seeks to recognize and celebrate the vital work that facility managers across the world have contributed to different industries during the pandemic and even now that we are gradually winning the war against COVID-19.
