Abstract
Residential facilities of Public Educational Institutions (PEIs) encompass the immediate environment of the PEI, such as housing, recreational facility, sanitation, and others that provide shelter and make life worthwhile for its users. This study assessed the maintenance needs of residents of the PEI residential facilities. To collect data on their maintenance needs, structured questionnaires were distributed to ninety-eight (98) respondents within the PEI residential facilities in the study area through systematic random sampling techniques. Information gathered from secondary and primary data was used to analyse residents' maintenance needs of the PEI residential facilities assessed. The result showed that the major maintenance need of the residents of the PEI residential facilities is on services, especially toilet and water distributions facilities. It indicates further that most materials used to maintain toilet amenities and water distribution channels were substandard. There is a slow response to repairs on maintenance needs as requested by the residents on damaged components of the facility. The study suggested that in meeting the maintenance needs of residents of the PEI facilities, the maintenance unit should have a quality assurance unit that will certify materials required for maintenance activities before usage within the PEI residential facility.
