dc.description.abstractThe desire to celebrate functions in covered elite spaces became a vogue in the early '90s while the ability to pay for such venues became a status symbol. Event venues sprang up in all areas of Lagos state as they became major revenue earners. People with landed properties took to building event centres while old properties were converted to accommodate event halls. The demand for these venues in their different capacities in choice locations determined their status and categories. Old club houses renovated to meet the new taste of their members while generating extra revenues for the clubs. The desire to take advantage of this relatively 'easy money' led to a supplier's market economically and the market is still growing. The result is the emergence of "Event Managers" covering a broad range of event needs. This paper traces the fast growth of event venues since 1990 to date, the qualities of premier elite venues which led to the current event venue explosion, and the challenges for events and facility managers in Nigeria. The paper is a modification of an internal assessment study as a management staff of the MUSON Centrel (1994-2002) in the face of growing competition.en_US
