      abstract = {Fire safety remains a critical concern in large-scale public facilities, particularly in urban centres such as Lagos State where rapid development often outpaces regulatory enforcement. This study investigates the factors militating against the implementation of fire safety measures at Landmark Centre, a major event and exhibition facility in Victoria Island, Lagos. The research employed a quantitative approach, with data collected through structured, closed-ended questionnaires administered to 384 respondents, including architects, facility managers, and fire safety personnel. The sample size was determined using Cochran?s formula for an infinite population. Data were analysed using SPSS v.26 to generate descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed partial compliance with fire safety standards: while 58.9% of respondents confirmed the presence of integrated alarm and sprinkler systems, only 32.8% reported the existence of a dedicated fire safety monitoring room. Key barriers identified include inadequate policy enforcement (82.8%), budget constraints (71.9%), insufficient staff training (65.6%), and failure to integrate fire safety at the architectural design stage (59.4%). Inferential analysis showed significant associations between regulatory enforcement and compliance (odds ratio = 3.02; p < 0.001) and between budget availability and compliance (odds ratio = 2.34; p < 0.001). The study concludes that improving fire safety at Landmark Centre requires a multi-faceted strategy involving strengthened regulatory frameworks, enhanced design practices, dedicated funding for modern fire technologies, and rigorous staff training. The research underscores the need for hybrid regulatory models that align local building codes with international fire safety standards to bridge identified compliance gaps.},
