Abstract

This paper examines the role of government agencies in public-private partnerships in housing delivery in Lagos State. Housing is not just one of the three basic needs of human but also a benchmark for determining the level of development of any country. Sustainable access to good healthcare, roads, quality housing and other socioeconomic services can easily be accomplished through public-private partnerships (PPP) where Government provides an enabling environment and the private sectors maximizes the opportunity and contributes their quota to the development of the nation. Exploratory sequential mixed method was used in this study. The study used a focus group discussion with PPP experts and identified relevant success factors for the delivery of PPP housing in Nigeria. A total of 70 questionnaires were randomly administered to the targeted respondents and data from questionnaire surveys were analyzed using Mean Weighted Average and Frequencies with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). The study found out that the gap between income and shelter cost in Nigeria is very wide and this has eliminated the low-income earners from the housing market. It was also discovered that the private sector in no doubt have made significant contributions to the development of the Nation’s housing arcade in spite of several constraints that are serving as challenges to its efforts. Thus, this study recommends that core (incremental) housing should be introduced by the Government into the PPP housing provision schemes to enable low-income people to have access to basic housing units, which they can improve upon improvement of their economic status. Keywords: Affordability, Housing, Public-Private Partnership.
