Builders Advocate Durable Plumbing Amid Quality Concerns


As Nigeria’s construction sector continues to evolve, industry players are intensifying calls for improved material quality and modern plumbing systems.

This was evident in Lagos during a recent gathering of construction professionals, where Kazeem Royal Properties and Constructions Ltd. emphasised the need for durable and technology-driven plumbing solutions.

The event coincided with the inauguration of the newly elected executives of the Association of Professional Plumbers of Nigeria and brought together stakeholders across the construction and plumbing value chain. Discussions focused on how innovation and professional standards can improve building quality and public health outcomes nationwide.

Speaking on behalf of the company, Chief Operating Officer Basorun Babayeju said the quality of plumbing materials used in construction significantly affects the safety and lifespan of buildings.

He noted that many structural and water-related failures are linked to the use of substandard products.

According to him, Kazeem Royal Properties and Constructions Ltd. has continued to invest in modern manufacturing processes to produce pipes and fittings designed to be strong, reliable, and durable for over 50 years. He said the company’s objective extends beyond production to contributing to higher industry standards.

Babayeju also described plumbers as key contributors to national development, stressing that efficient water systems are essential for public health and sustainable urban growth. He urged professionals in the sector to embrace continuous learning and maintain high technical standards.

The gathering also featured remarks from government representatives and industry leaders, who highlighted the importance of technical education and vocational training in strengthening economic growth. Participants agreed that improving skills and promoting quality workmanship would support long-term infrastructure development in Nigeria.

For many attendees, the event underscored a gradual shift in the plumbing sector toward innovation, professionalism, and long-term solutions over short-term fixes.
