ABSTRACT
When compared to the scenario in Europe, the United States, and other parts of the world, where facilities management has been practiced since the 1980s, Nigeria is still in the early stages of learning. Some corporations are increasingly recognizing the importance of effective facility management. Facilities management practice in Nigeria is expected to face similar start-up issues as any other new enterprise. The job of the facilities manager is examined in this study, as well as the issues that obstruct successful facilities management. Both survey and case study methodologies were used in the study. The data was collected through a survey, while the case study was based on an in-depth examination of six different drug, beverage, and textile manufacturing companies in Lagos. Simple random sampling was utilized as the sample method.

INTRODUCTION
Facilities have a lot of erroneous notions attached to them.
management. These misunderstandings have emerged as a result of the dictionary definitions with which people have associated the word capability. Even specialists in the real estate, construction, and other sectors are prone to misunderstand the term “facilities” to refer to the special infrastructure, such as water, electricity, roads, and telecommunications equipment, that are necessary for the use and pleasure of a property. According to Odiete (1998), the first group of persons who came into touch with what is now known as facilities and their management always saw the discipline as solely referring to space management and not the other components.
Few people think of facilities management as the management of such things.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The goal of introducing property ratings is to allow local governments to generate enough revenue to fund all of the necessary services, such as piped water, power, access roads, and good streets, for both poor and wealthy people to use.
