Abstract

The relevance of housing delivery to Nigerians is a paramount issue in the parlance of administration. Several professionals, government officials and other stakeholders have come up with the need to promote an enduring policy to help mitigate the accruing challenges in the housing sector. Previous efforts made by governments through policy intervention have yielded little in provision of adequate housing for Nigerian inhabitants. The questions then are what has the government done or failed to do in this matter? Policies have been formulated, implemented and reviewed to better the lots in the housing sector; nonetheless, it still calls for more to be desired. There are inadequate housing units due to poor implementation of policy and lack of political will to achieve the housing policy thrust. The paper concluded that housing service delivery can be improved upon when government decisively intervenes through proper policy implementation.
