Chapter One: Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

Access to affordable housing has long been a challenge in urban areas across Nigeria, including Bauchi Local Government in Bauchi State (Adamu & Garba, 2023). The rapid urbanization of Nigerian cities has resulted in increased demand for housing, with many residents unable to afford suitable accommodation. In response to this challenge, the Nigerian government has implemented various policies aimed at increasing the supply of affordable housing, including the National Housing Policy and state-specific housing programs (Eze & Mohammed, 2024). These policies are designed to provide low-income earners with access to affordable housing through subsidized housing schemes, public-private partnerships, and improved urban planning strategies. However, the effectiveness of these policies in addressing the housing crisis in Bauchi remains a subject of debate. This study will evaluate the impact of government policies on affordable housing in Bauchi Local Government and assess the challenges faced in implementing these policies.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

Despite the implementation of housing policies, the issue of affordable housing in Bauchi Local Government persists, with many urban residents living in overcrowded, substandard conditions. Factors such as inadequate funding, poor implementation of housing schemes, and high construction costs have hindered the success of these policies (Bello & Abdul, 2023). This study aims to assess the impact of government policies on affordable housing in Bauchi and identify the barriers to their effectiveness.

1.3 Objectives of the Study

3. What strategies can improve the provision of affordable housing in Bauchi Local Government?

1.5 Research Hypotheses

1. Government policies have contributed to the provision of affordable housing in Bauchi Local Government.

2. Implementation challenges, such as funding and coordination issues, hinder the success of affordable housing policies in Bauchi.

3. Strengthening public-private partnerships and increasing government funding will improve the provision of affordable housing in Bauchi.

1.6 Significance of the Study

This study will contribute to the understanding of how government policies on affordable housing affect urban development in Bauchi Local Government. The findings will be valuable for policymakers, urban planners, and housing authorities seeking to improve the accessibility of affordable housing in urban areas. The study will also offer recommendations for enhancing the implementation of housing policies to better meet the needs of low-income residents.

1.7 Scope and Limitations of the Study

The study will focus on the urban areas of Bauchi Local Government and specifically evaluate the impact of government policies on affordable housing. It will not cover rural areas of Bauchi State or other local governments in the state. Limitations include potential difficulties in accessing data from residents due to privacy concerns and challenges in evaluating the effectiveness of long-term housing policies.
