Paul Erubami, President of the Association of Facilities Management Practitioners and CEO of Max-Migold Ltd., has emphasized the crucial role of infrastructure maintenance in driving economic growth and sustainability.
Speaking at the third annual AFMPN conference in Abuja, Erubami highlighted that well-maintained infrastructure can stimulate economic activity by creating jobs and attracting investment. Additionally, it can enhance resilience to natural disasters and climate change, ensuring the continuity of essential services.
By focusing on the preservation and upgrading of existing infrastructure, countries can optimize resource allocation and reduce environmental impact. This maintenance-focused approach aligns with global trends towards sustainable development.
Facility management, as the backbone of infrastructure maintenance, plays a pivotal role in ensuring the efficient and effective operation of buildings and facilities. By optimizing space utilization, enhancing energy efficiency, and prioritizing occupant well-being, facility managers contribute to the overall sustainability of the built environment.
As the demand for skilled facility management professionals continues to grow, initiatives like the Facility Management MasterCraft Diploma program are essential in developing the necessary expertise. The upcoming graduation ceremony at the University of Lagos underscores the importance of education and training in this field.
