Abstract
Nigeria’s subscription to the world globalized economic order is tacitly illustrated by her adoption and implementation of United Nation’s Resolution-compliant economic strategies–National Economic Empowerment Development Strategy (NEEDS), National Poverty Eradication Programme (NAPEP), Privatization of government- owned enterprises etc. Housing, a germane human social need has not been given priority, yet it guarantees the health and productivity of the labour-force to propel the envisaged 21st century diversified Nigerian economy. From the urban and non-urban settlements selected for study, responses and data were sourced on questions relating to Nigeria’s housing situation – the extent of the problem, socio-economic indicators and implications on human productivity. This paper inferentially concludes that the substantiality of Nigerian housing problem, with no evidence of pragmatic solution mechanisms in place or sight, makes her desire for an active and beneficial participation in the global economy a mirage. However, recommendations made towards alleviating the worrisome housing situation include general improvement of housing environment, with emphasis on the poor and rural dwellers’ housings, infusion of more funds into the housing sector, encouragement of retention of rural labour-force in rural communities etc.
