| dc.description.abstract | Over the years, government at all levels in Nigeria have embraced several approaches towards addressing persistent housing problems in the country. Among such measures was the use of housing scheme towards improving quantitative and qualitative housing challenges in the country. Thus, this study examined access to government housing schemes in Nigeria using Adewole and Mandate Housing Estate in Ilorin, Kwara State as study area. 119 units of questionnaire were randomly administered to respondents from the selected schemes as research instrument. This was complimented with interview-guide used to elicit relevant data from officials of Ministry responsible for Housing in the study area. Frequency tables, charts and figures were descriptively used for the presentation the presentation of the results, while linear regression was inferentially employed for the hypothesis statement. The findings revealed that complex procedure (43.7%), bureaucratic procedure, (25.2%), un-affordability (24.4%), high price of acquisition (12.6%), price increment (3.4%), and land speculations were major constraints to the acquisition of government housing schemes. The result of the tested hypothesis showed a strong correlation coefficient of 0.785 (and R2 of 0.615) which attested to the notion that affordability is a function of socio-economic attributes of residents in the selected schemes. However, the study concludes that affordability of government housing schemes have been compromised especially for the low income, and by extension, the medium income groups in the society. The study recommended integration of socio-economic capabilities of the low income groups in the conception and allocation of government housing scheme in the future. | |
