Evaluation of Public Housing Strategies in Ogun State, Nigeria

The research reported in this volume evaluated the performance of four housing delivery strategies: the Public-Private Partnerships(PPPs), Turnkey, Core Housing and Shell Stage housing in providing adequate and satisfactory housing to residents in urban areas of Ogun State Southwest Nigeria. Using data derived from both quantitative and qualitative research methods, findings show that public housing provided using these strategies in the study area was rated as affordable, inadequate and not satisfactory by the residents. Although, the majority of the residents felt satisfied with life in their current residences, significant differences in socioeconomic characteristics of residents and levels of housing adequacy and satisfaction across the four strategies were observed. The findings imply that the different housing delivery strategies perform differently in terms of housing adequacy and satisfaction as well as impact on the quality of life of the residents in the study area.
