PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS

ABSTRACT

The research examined factors of effective maintenance management in the public sector. Data gathering and analysis involved personal interview and questionnaire.  The research hypothesis was subjected to test and analysis using chi-square (x2). The tested hypothesis disclosed that funds were the key to project success and sustainability.  A number of constraints as well as economic benefits of the study were highlighted. Recommendations from the study indicated that projects and facility maintenance should be tailored to the size of revenue realizable, maintenance implications should be considered along with project conception and the need for government sound policies in this regard.  Deductions from the study clearly show that when the required wherewithal for managing and maintaining projects/facilities are provided and properly carried out by competent managers, an outcome of satisfaction and drastic reduction in environmental accidents in our society could be assured.
