The president of the International Facility Management Association (IFMA) Lagos chapter, ESV Lekan Akinwumi, has commiserated with the family of Dr Vwaere Daiso, the victim of the lift accident that occurred at the House Officers Quarters of the General Hospital Odan, Lagos Island.
According to the IFMA president, they wished the accident never happened as it has claimed the life of a promising doctor who was committed and dedicated to saving the lives of others at this point in time when medical professionals are fleeing the country in droves.
On behalf of the association, he offered their deepest condolences to the family of the deceased even as their thoughts and prayers are with them during this trying time.
ESV Akinwumi said, “It is quite sad and unfortunate that the accident happened at a time when facility management is taking its rightful place in the scheme of things in Nigeria, and there is a total overhaul of how facilities are managed in the public sector, especially.”
The president said the accident should be critically assessed and thorough investigation carried out by relevant agencies on the root cause of the failure of the lift. He also reiterated the commendable efforts of the Lagos State Government through its agency, Lagos State Infrastructure and Asset Management Agency (LASIAMA), under the leadership of Ms. Adenike Adekanbi. He said the commendation is because Lagos State and one other state has an agency for the management of public facilities.
