He said that “although the Facility management as a profession in Nigeria is still at an infancy stage, it has contributed so much to the built industry within the few years of its existence”.

Williams observed that facility managers deliver exceptional customer experiences worldwide across multiple sectors and World Facility Management Day was a significant time to reflect on the ways to enhance the performance of facility managers.

The General Manager thereafter presentedthe ‘Maintenance Culture Award for 2017” to Avatar Global Resources Limited at the Anatomy Hall of the Lagos State College of Medicine (LASUCOM), in recognition of the company’s meritorious service excellence.

He expressed appreciation to Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, for deliberately investing huge resources to develop enduring public assets and infrastructure that would guarantee economic prosperity and serve as a legacy for future generations.
