DELIVERY OF LOW-INCOME HOUSING IN NIGERIA PROSPECTS AND CHALLENGES

ABSTRACT

The research is an assessment of the delivery of low income housing in Nigeria, it analyzes the prospect and challenges of delivery of low income housing in Nigeria and intends to profer recommendations toward an efficient delivery of low-income housing in Nigeria.

INTRODUCTION

Housing is paramount to human existence as it ranks among the top three needs of man. Its provision has always been of great necessity to man.

        As a unit of the environment housing has a profound influence on the health, efficiency, social behaviour, satisfaction and general welfare of the community. It is a reflection of the cultural, social and economic values of a society and one of the best historical evidence of the civilization of a country (Olotuah, 2000).

        The provision of adequate housing in any country is very vital as housing is a stimulant of the national economy. Housing is a set of durable assets, which accounts for a high proportion of a country’s wealth and on which households spend a substantial part of their income. It is for these reasons that housing has become a regular feature in economic, social and political debates often with highly charged emotional contents (Agbola, 1998).

        In Nigeria, like in many other developing nations of the world housing problems are multidimensional. The problems of population explosion, continuous influx of people from the rural to the urban centres, and the lack of basic infrastructure required for good standard of living has compounded housing problems over the years. Access to this basic need by the poor who constitute the largest percentage of the world the population has remained a mirage and it needs to be critically addressed. Ogieto (1987) has observed that the disparity between the price and quantity of housing on the one hand, and the number of households and the money available to them to pay these prices on the other, constitutes the central problem of housing. The cost at which houses reach the market goes a long way to determine affordability. Where the unit cost of houses is abnormally high only a few people are able to afford the houses. According to Okupe and Windapo (2000), the gap between income and shelter cost in Nigeria is very wide.

This has almost eliminated the low-income earners from the housing market, The research intends to provide an assessment of  the delivery of low-income housing in Nigeria; its prospect and challenges

CHAPTER 1

1.1       BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Shortage of adequate housing virtually abounds in every country, particularly in the developing and third world countries. The shortage, in both quantitative and qualitative terms, is more acute in the urban centres. Omojinmi (2000) observed that people that sleep in indecent houses in urban Nigeria are more than people who sleep in decent houses. Thus, it is assertive that there is inadequacy in housing to cope with the ever-increasing population in Nigeria (Arayela, 2003). The causes of this dearth in housing is numerous.  High construction cost is found to be present in all countries, albeit in varying degrees of significance (Adedeji, 2007). Afolayan (1987) attributes the high cost of construction to rising cost of building materials, the inflation rate in the economy, high space and quality the standard adopted by designers, professional fees for housing design and construction, the excessive profit of contractors and 10% interest payable on National Housing Fund in Nigeria (NHF). Cases of the high cost of housing compared to the low salaries of civil servants in Nigeria could be seen in the sale of 2-bedroom bungalows at Otedola Estate in Lagos, which according to LSG (1999) was the cheapest obtainable and the subsequent sale of 2-bedroom flat at Ikorodu by LSDPC (Lagos State Development and Property Corporation) at N1.7 Million. The research intends to investigate the delivery of low-income housing in Nigeria; its challenges and prospect.

1.2       STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

        The inability of many Nigerian workers to afford  good housing has grown to a greater dimension, the implication resulting in low morale and productivity. However, in view of the significance of housing delivery it is pertinent that the issue of housing delivery is properly addressed. The research intends to investigate the delivery of low-income housing in Nigeria; its prospect and challenges

3      H0    The prospect of low income delivery in Nigeria is   low

H1   The prospect of low-income delivery in Nigeria is                             high

1.7        SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of the study is focused on the assessment of the delivery of low-income housing in Nigeria. It analyzes the challenges and the prospect of the delivery of low-income housing in Nigeria.

1.8        DEFINITION OF TERMS

NATIONAL HOUSING FUND DEFINED

The National Housing Fund (NHF) scheme came into being through an Act of the National Assembly (Act No.2 of 1992). National Housing Fund provided that 2.5% of the income of workers be paid to the fund as mandatory savings.

LOW-INCOME EARNERS DEFINED

The Nigerian National Housing Policy (FGN, 2004) defines the low-income group as all employees and self-employed persons whose annual income is N100, 000:00 and below (i.e. the equivalent of the salary grade level of 01-06 within the civil service). Interestingly, the national minimum wage is N44, 000. 00 per annum. About fifty-seven per cent (57%) of the Nigerian population falls below the poverty line, which is on the average of US$1 per day (Wahab, 2006). In reality, most employees who work outside the public sector or outside the organized private sector, as well as many self-employed Nigerians earn well below the national minimum wage.
