“…The primary and major functions of the HCs were the construction of housing units for sale to members of the public and the granting of loans to whoever wished to build their own houses on their land. Post-independence, a HC which is the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) was established at the federal level to handle the responsibility of initiating and executing Federal Government Housing Programmes (Ishiyaku, 2016). Apart from programmes set out by FHA, all states in Nigeria were mandated to establish their own HCs whose mandate was to execute public housing projects thereby complementing the efforts of FHA.…”

“…Unfortunately, implementation of the programmes has not adequately addressed the housing deficit because records confirm the low performances of previous housing programmes. Ishiyaku (2016), Adeshina and Idaeho (2018) as well as Ajayi (2019) all report that the housing policies and programmes in Nigeria although well drawn up have not performed so well. For instance, it is reported in the Nigerian National Housing Policy (2012) that in the First National Development Plan (1962)(1963)(1964)(1965)(1966)(1967)(1968), 24, 000 housing units were planned to be delivered but only 500 housing units were built representing 2 percent.…”

There has been several ambitious housing policies in Nigeria spanning across pre and post-independence aimed at addressing the growing housing deficit using the concept of Mass Housing Programmes (MHPs), including the recent MHPs in the Nigerian Economic Sustainability Plan- (NESP) (2021-2025). However, implementation of the policies has not addressed the housing deficit because records confirmed the low performances of MHPs whereby only a fraction of the units intended to be built are delivered. The strategy for implementing the MHP is that, implementation institutions are to utilise Estate Developers (EDs) such as Housing Corporations (HCs) to drive the successful execution of the projects and based on the scale of the MHP in the NESP, the capacity of EDs in general and HCs specifically will have implications on its success. As such, this study was designed to ascertain the implications of HCs capacity towards successful delivery of MHPs in Nigeria. A Case Study Research design was used to collect data from HCs of six North-West states in Nigeria using an interview. Data was analysed using a single case and crosscase technique. Results revealed that the experiences in the practices of HCs in MHPs has the potentials to: reduce project cost; reduce project time; increase clients’ satisfaction; and develop human resource. It was concluded that the HCs in North-West States possess capacity to successfully deliver MHPs such as the NESP and future National Housing Programmes (NHPs). Based on the findings of this research, the study recommends that the vulnerability of HCs should be studied to get a more encompassing picture of performance potentials in successfully delivering MHPs. Furthermore, a more comprehensive study should be undertaken to cover the HCs across Nigeria to get information that could enable their optimal integration into MHPs. The implication of the findings is that, since the HCs demonstrated some capacities to deliver MHPs, EDs can successfully delivered MHPs if other enabling factors that are key to delivery of MHPs such as finance, among others are put in place. The limitation of the study is that the study covers only six HCs, thus, generalisation of the findings could be limited.

“…This constitutional requirement compels public authorities to provide housing to the populace. Public housing is the provision of low-cost housing by governments for civil occupancy geared towards the satisfaction of housing occupants (Ishiyaku, 2016). This definition is, however, narrowed to civil occupancy.…”

“…This is because none of these studies has organised these variables into a conceptual framework to be able to study and analyse their causal relationship. Also, previous studies that have been conducted on residential satisfaction in Nigeria centred on measuring residents satisfaction in the informal settlement areas (Nwaka, 2005), privately owned medium and low-income estates (Ademiluyi & Raji, 2008), and public housing performance (Ishiyaku, 2016), with very few making reference to military housing.…”

“…Empirical studies that evaluate the housing condition of Military barracks are relatively few (Chukwu, 2001;Amole, 2010). Similarly, most of the previous studies relate housing conditions to residential satisfaction which centred on measuring residents satisfaction in the informal settlement areas privately owned medium and low-income estates, and public housing performance (Ojo & Oloruntoba;2012;Carlotta & Joyce, 2013;Danquah, Jeanette & Ankrah, 2014;Momtaz, Rafieian & Aghasafari, 2016;Byun & Mikyoung, 2016;Ishiyaku, 2016) with very few focusing on military barracks (Amole, 2010).…”

Despite the numerous empirical studies that have been conducted on housing conditions, there is still very little research work carried out on military barracks life, the impact of the condition of the barracks’ accommodation on the soldiers’ social life and morale. Thus, thispaper presents a study onthe relationship between housing conditions, soldiers’ social life, and morale in Coral Barracks Nigeria and covers only the non-commissioned officers’ quarters. A quantitative method using a questionnaire survey was used with a sample size of 260.The data were analysed using descriptive statistics as well as parametric measurements. A total number of 194 questionnaires retrieved from the respondents were used in the analyses. Building services attributes had a strong and significant positive correlation. Moreover, neighbourhood and soldiers’ life correlate significantly, negative but weak, while physical housing attributes and neighbourhood attributes correlate significantly but negatively and weak with children's life. Neighbourhood attributes and soldiers’ morale recorded a significant, negative but weak correlation. In light of these findings, thisstudy recommends that astandard strategic plan for efficient barrack housing construction, management, and maintenance is designed.

In the rapidly developing Federal Capital of Nigeria, Abuja, understanding the relationship between managerial service quality and occupants' satisfaction is crucial for sustainable housing development. This study addresses this by assessing the influence of managerial service quality on occupants' satisfaction in housing estates in Abuja, Nigeria. Notably, there is a dearth of information on occupants’ satisfaction of housing estates within the Nigerian context, existing studies mainly focus on the physical environment. Using a survey-based cross-sectional design, data was collected through structured questionnaires from two housing estates in Abuja, focusing on occupants' perceptions of managerial service quality components. The study evaluated four key aspects of managerial service quality as independent variables: Facility Management, Management's Responsiveness to Complaints, Waste Management, and Environmental Hygiene. The data underwent inferential analysis, with correlation analysis gauging the strength and direction of the relationship between the dependent and independent variables, and multiple regression analysis used for hypothesis testing. Preliminary findings revealed a positive correlation between managerial service quality and occupants' satisfaction. From the results of multiple regression analysis, three hypotheses revealed a significant positive relationship with occupants’ satisfaction, while one hypothesis showed an insignificant but positive relationship with occupants’ satisfaction. This study underscores the critical role of effective estate management in improving occupants' quality of life and fostering sustainable urban development. Findings from the study can inform policymaking, shape property management practices, and empower housing estate administrators to meet the evolving needs and expectations of housing estate occupants.
