Leading corporate brands, including the African Export-Import Bank, Berger Paints Nigeria Plc, and Julius Berger Facilities Management, have converged in Lagos to chart a sustainable investment pathway for Nigeria’s rapidly growing facility management industry.
The industry giants gathered at the 2026 World Facility Management Day celebration, organised by the International Facility Management Association, Nigeria Chapter, at the Alliance Française Mike Adenuga Centre in Ikoyi.
Stakeholders at the event argued that the facility management market has transitioned from a basic maintenance sector into a critical asset class that directly impacts corporate profitability, infrastructure longevity, and environmental sustainability.
The President of IFMA Nigeria, Sheriff Daramola, said, “Facility management has evolved significantly in about three decades from informal maintenance practices into a strategic discipline that delivers measurable value across sectors.”
“It is now a core driver of resilience in banking, healthcare, transportation, education, oil and gas, telecommunications, and public infrastructure.”
