    (University of Lagos, 2018-08-28) Faremi, O.J; Adenuga, O; John, B.I; Adegoriola, M; Muraina, A.O
    Appropriate decision making on either to insource or outsource maintenance services in universities is a strategic task. Such a decision-making process is usually complex and challenging. Insourcing maintenance services, different sourcing option suits different maintenance scenarios, hence the need to study the factors influencing decision to insource or outsource maintenance services in any particular organisation or institution. Through a crosssectional survey, data were gathered from 112 respondents comprising a census of 28 maintenance managers and purposive sampling of 84 maintenance technical staff. The relative influence index and the Welch‘s test were employed as statistical tools for data analysis. The results indicate that factors influencing insourcing of maintenance services in universities include: the development of in-house maintenance staff, technological requirements uncertainty and the difficulty in getting trustworthy contractors. Factors influencing building maintenance outsourcing decision in universities include the need for specialised expertise, strategic alliance with contractors and the need for specialised management. The results of the Welch‘s ANOVA F (2, 87) =3.50, p=0.17 and F (2, 92) =2.08, p=0.26, showed that there was no significant difference in the factors influencing insourcing and outsourcing decisions across federal, state and private universities respectively. The study concludes that insourcing decision is influenced by management factors while outsourcing decision are influenced by strategic and technological factors.

    (University of Salford, 2017-09-11) Ajayi, O; Faremi, O.J; Adenuga, O
    The prevalence of diverse factors affecting maintenance management determines the impact of such factors on the maintenance of prison facilities. This study investigates factors that affect the maintenance management of prison facilities in South-West, Nigeria. Questionnaires were used to collect data from the prison staff in the maintenance unit of all prisons situated in South-west, Nigeria. The statistical tools employed for the study were percentage, mean scores, kendall’s coefficient of concordance test of agreement. Result showed that deterioration due to age of facilities, overcrowding, inadequate plant and equipment for maintenance operations as well as inadequate training and development for prison maintenance staff are critical underlying factors. This result enabled the maintenance unit to identify the predominance factors. The study acknowledged the predominance barriers to implementation of satisfactory maintenance management. For better management of maintenance of prison facilities; study recommends that the government should provide all necessary maintenance and capital resources. Such as sufficient maintenance budgets, plant and equipment for maintenance operations and enabling policies that would ensure functionality of prison facilities.

    (University of Lagos, 2018-07-24) Faremi, O.J; Adenuga, O; Ameh, O.J; Zakariyyah, I.K; Ajayi, O.O; John, B.I; Adegoriola, M
    As smart buildings spring up within the metropolis of Lagos State, Nigeria to provide a safer, more secure, productive and comfortable environment. Among the attendant challenges is the delivery of strategic facilities management services to maximise the building’s efficiency and achieve the expected return on investment. This study investigates sustainable facilities management practices in Lagos State using the Heritage Place as a case study. A survey was conducted on 15 facilities management personnel and 64 users of the facility. The mean and relative importance index were used as the descriptive statistical tools while the t-test was employed as the inferential statistical tool. The result shows that the most frequently practised sustainable facilities management practice includes; compliance with the preventive maintenance schedules and prompt response to repairs and corrective work activities in the facility. Although the users of the facility were dissatisfied with the level of implementation of most of the hypothesized sustainable facilities management practice, the result shows marginal satisfaction of the users for integrated pest management and optimised waste management respectively. The study recommends that managers of smart office buildings should sustain the effort at implementing sustainable facilities management practices in order to significantly and continuously improve operations and maintenance activities in the buildings. The efforts of the managers of smart office buildings should be geared to the delivery of strategic facilities management services that meet the expectations of users of these facilities.

    WORKMENHEALTH AND SAFETYONINDIGENOUS CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTORSSITESIN LAGOS STATE
    (International Conference on Infrastructure Development in Africa, 2016) Faremi, O.J; Adenuga, O; John, B.I; Adetayo, O
    This study investigates health and safety incidences on construction projects handledby indigenous contractors. It assesses the frequency at which health and safetyincidences occur on construction sites and evaluates potential factors that couldinfluence health and safety performance of indigenous construction contractors onconstruction sites within the study area. A survey of randomly selected sites within thestudy area was conducted using self-administered structured questionnaires asinstruments of primary data collection. The data collected were analyzed usingdescriptive and inferential statistics. The analysis showed that the rate at whichaccidents occur on indigenous contractors’ site is high. Rated as the most significantcauses of accidents onconstructionsitesare injury from nails, sharp objects andhandheld tools. This study concludes that giving monetary incentives to workmen forcarrying out construction task in a safe manner, regular safety inspections duringconstruction activitiesand carrying out disciplinary action for activities carried outunsafely are measures that could enhance the health and safety performance ofconstruction contractors. This study then develop a model that could assist indigenouscontractors predict the likelihood of accident occurrence from unsafe condition, unsafeact and near miss on a construction site.
