The Chief Executive Officer, Max-Migold, Paul Erubami, has said that an effective facility management sector can stem the tide of building collapse in Nigeria. To achieve this, he explained that Nigeria’s facility management sector needs nothing less than 250,000 facility managers to stem the rampant building collapse. He advised the government to speak with professionals like the Association of Facility Management in Nigeria to come up with training programs for all public officers. According to him, facility management is a movement that needs to be advocated for, both in the public and private sectors to have a safe environment. He said, “We have to stem brain drain, building collapse, and issues of dilapidation, and build a society where facilities and maintenance should be looked at with a lifecycle mindset.”
