Building Resilient Infrastructure to Support Sustainable Industrial Growth in Nigeria by Resolving Issues with Maintenance Procedures

Abstract

Among the most significant factors while determining the level of industrial development of a nation is the sufficiency and effectiveness of its core infrastructure. The provision and maintenance of infrastructural facilities stimulate economic growth and enhance the development prospects of a nation. This paper briefly discusses the availability and problems associated with Nigeria's current engineering infrastructure facilities. It also addresses the efficient upkeep of Nigeria's public infrastructure. Nigerian public facility maintenance performance metrics are covered in this paper. It emphasizes the importance of spare parts and the various departments that are involved in maintenance either directly or indirectly and how they can function together to improve the upkeep of Nigeria's public infrastructure. The difficulties that engineering professionals face in maintaining their practices are listed in the article, along with issues that prevent public facilities in Nigeria from being maintained effectively. Suggested approaches and actions are provided for efficient upkeep of infrastructure and resolving issues that Nigerian engineering practitioners face when performing maintenance procedures.
