Preventive maintenance is a proven method for reducing breakdowns and increasing productivity in Nigeria’s industrial sector. At Raybond Technical Ltd, we believe your machinery should work for you—not against you. In this 2025 guide, we explore how preventive maintenance saves time, protects assets, and boosts efficiency across Nigeria’s oil & gas, cement, and manufacturing industries.
What is Preventive Maintenance?
Preventive maintenance (PM) is the scheduled servicing of machines and systems before they fail. It’s different from reactive maintenance, which only takes place after equipment breaks down. Think of PM as a health check for your assets.
In Nigeria, preventive maintenance is essential due to factors like:
- Unstable power supply
- Harsh environmental conditions
- Limited access to spare parts
Why Nigerian Industries Need Preventive Maintenance
In sectors like oil & gas and cement manufacturing, a single hour of downtime can cost millions of naira. More so, reactive repairs often require importing parts, which adds further delay. That’s why preventive maintenance is not just useful—it’s necessary.
Many Nigerian businesses still ignore this strategy, despite its benefits:
- Minimises equipment failure
- Reduces operational costs
- Extends machinery lifespan
- Improves workplace safety
- Enhances compliance with ISO standards
✅ Did you know? According to Castolin Eutectic, effective wear protection can reduce maintenance costs by 40%.
