Abstract

It is a realistic expectation of the populace to demand adequate housing from the government as well as from the private sector. The government has realized that a combination of providers is the only way to meet the demand. In other more developed countries this combination of suppliers have struggled and housing policy and its delivery is constantly being reviewed. It is hoped that the recently revised national housing policy has considered the different implication and will endeavour to accommodate the variety of need. The government in this new policy release has mustered various think tanks, and managed to proffer some solutions to the inept housing procurement. Should we expect such high sustainable standards from a developing government trying to empower the people and gratify its population with basic amenities of shelter? The impact of construction is felt by all and Nigeria is a country with a huge housing shortfall, where everyone gets involved in self build. This research aims to answer questions raised and analyze the challenges and opportunities facing the government in its policy implementation. It would aim to create a decision support toolkit that could assist the government.
