    Affordable Housing Delivery in Nigeria: Strategic Direction for Federal Authority and State Housing Corporations.
    (Housing Today. Journal of Association of Housing Corporations in Nigeria (AHCN). Town Planning Way, Ilupeju-Lagos, Nigeria., 2009-05) Nubi, T.G.; Abiodun, Y.
    Housing remains one of the basic needs of man. Its supply both in quantity and quality had been a major concern to most people in most places at different times in human history. Unfortunately, as urbanization and globalization deepens, so also is the problem of housing getting worse. This paper examines the .current housing problem in Nigeria viz-a-viz post efforts at solving it. The authors worked with the Technical Board of Federal Housing Authority between 2006 and 2007. During the tenure of the Board, efforts were made to put in place a Blue Print towards a sustainable Salable housing delivery in Nigeria in line with the new direction of the Federal Government. It is our belief that the model presented in this paper will go on a long way to resolving the nation's housing problem. The state Housing Corporations are also encouraged to adopt it at the state 'level to row, a quick spread of the gains of the model across the country.
