The huge housing deficit of over 17 million homes and the demand for affordable and quality shelter across Nigeria particularly

amongst the middle-income and low-income earners is posing a great risk not just to the

health of the majority but to the socio-economic equilibrium of mainly the urban and

sub-urban settlers in the Country.

Recommendations

Government should recognize the significance of CCHM as a key tool in implementing mass housing delivery

Critical review of roles to be played by both Federal and State Governments to ensure equilibrium in the integration and implementation of this framework model for mass housing delivery in Nigeria

Housing cooperatives should strengthen their membership connections within Local and State Governments in order to achieve desired housing delivery goal

23

Twitter:@BAINltd

Cont…

Federal and State Governments should exhibit their commitment through the provision of housing incentives, such as subsidy for housing cooperatives, improved infrastructural facilities, tax rebate for mass housing developers.

Funds should be set-aside by both Federal and State Governments to encourage research institutes and local building material producers in manufacturing alternative but durable and cost-effective building materials to reduce dependence on imported equivalents; and thereby strengthen the Nigeria’s economy

Federal and State Governments should source for accessible funds with lower interest rate through Bonds and PFIs.

Conclusions

The proposed framework which has its focus on housing cooperatives with an independent Special

Purpose Vehicle (SPV) administrator and some adapted stakeholders is vital in achieving a cost-

effective, quality and timely delivery of housing in urban, sub-urban and rural areas of Nigeria, if

properly implemented.
