NFMA
FM in Nigeria is probably about 20 years old, however, there had not been any visible sign of that in our industry, our national economy and the lives of members of the profession, over time, we have fragmented ourselves into small groups rather than come together to forge a common front.
Nigeria FM professionals have aligned operations and association with the US and British FM bodies, IFMA and BIFM with both bodies more driven towards general FM education and learning, and also focused more on their local environment development than development of FM in international environments. This has led to the establishment of associations like SAFMA South Africa Facilities Management Association; MEFMA Middle Estate Facilities Management Association; among others.
