- Abstract:
This study determines the main factors responsible for the poor maintenance of government office buildings in Nigeria. Using post-occupancy evaluation, the study determines the extent of dilapidation of the office buildings and the feelings of the users about their office environment. The most frequently recurring maintenance problems are ascertained. The research determines if find allocation for maintenance of government office buildings is sufficient and whether the maintenance staff are carrying out their functions efficiently.The research method used was a combination of the descriptive and analytical survey methods. The target population of the study was federal and state government sonetariat buildings which had been in use for at least five years so that the maintenance problems could be manifested. The statistical tools used were one way analysis of variance, tukey-b multiple comparison test, t-test, and chi-square.Some of the findings of the stady are that the major contributors to the maintenance problems in government office buildings in Nigeria, are natural deterioration due to age, environmental effects and misuse by occupants. Funding for maintenance was found to be grossly inadequate. The most frequently recurring maintenance problem in the office buildings are plumbing and roof leakages. There is no significant difference amongst the six most frequently recurring maintenance problems acrom the country. Maintenance activities are not effectively carried out while majority of the staff of the offices are dissatisfied with their working environment.The study proposes a model process for maintenance planning and operations in office buildings. A planned maintenance priority listing computer programme was developed and a maintenance management performance evaluator was designed for evaluating maintenance activities in government secretariats in Nigeria.
