      abstract = {This study investigated the effectiveness of facilities management (FM) strategies employed by universities in Northeast Nigeria, addressing issues of operational efficiency and resource optimization. The issues of ineffective FM in Nigerian universities leads to a range of negative effects, including deteriorating infrastructure, increased costs and disruptions to academic activities. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the predominant available FM strategies utilized and assess their effectiveness in achieving operational efficiency. Exploratory sequential mixed-methods approach was employed, involving 14 supervisory and managerial staff and 325 senior staff from works and maintenance departments across seven federal universities. Purposive and stratified random sampling techniques were used to categorized and select the study samples. Results revealed that hybrid and outsourced FM strategies were most available (42.9%), while facilities simulation and condition-based strategies were least utilized (21.4%). In terms of effectiveness, in-house corrective FM, condition-based FM and facilities replacement strategies demonstrated high effectiveness. Equally, building simulation/forecasting and in-house preventive FM strategies were found to be less effective. The study recommended that university stakeholders should focus on increasing awareness of the long-term benefits of technologies like facilities simulation and condition-based maintenance. This involve providing educational resources, developing case studies showcasing successful implementations, and offering incentives to encourage initial investments in these technologies},
