Nigeria has a land area of 924000 square kilometers and as of 2007 according to the united state estimate had population of 148 million which makes it the most populous country in Africa.

As a developing country Nigeria gained its independence on the 1st October, 1960, and its present undergoing a fast process of urbanization.

It is a country blessed with agriculture and oil. Its major source o income and revenue was from agriculture produce but after the oil booms in 1980s Nigeria started shifting its concentration from agriculture to crude oil and of 2007 was the 15th largest producer of petroleum in the world.

Nigeria, being a developing country is faced with a continues increase in population, several mass housing projects by the government sprung out and more still under construction stage.

Private investors embark on the construction of flats, duplexes and apartment blocks while the government develop different mass housing environment to carter for the ever increasing population.

The provisions of this mass housing by the government is an answer to providing shelter for its inhabitants but in most cases after a while these mass housing developments deteriorate and become slums which also degrade the urban face of the city.

This is because the housing policies and legal framework for housing in the country are insufficient, and in case where there are housing policies, these policies are not adequately implemented.
