Background of the Study
Mohammed Musa Bello, as the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, has been actively involved in policies aimed at addressing the housing crisis in Abuja and its surrounding areas, including Karu in the FCT. The increasing demand for affordable housing, driven by rapid urbanization and population growth, has become a major challenge in the region. Karu, located on the outskirts of Abuja, is a rapidly growing area that has seen a surge in the construction of residential buildings, both for sale and rental.
Bello’s tenure as FCT Minister has been marked by efforts to increase housing supply through public-private partnerships, regulatory reforms, and infrastructural development. The goal has been to ensure that housing becomes affordable for the growing population, especially in satellite towns like Karu, where many middle-class and low-income individuals are seeking affordable homes. However, despite these efforts, questions remain about the effectiveness of these policies in actually making housing affordable for the residents of Karu, particularly in terms of prices, accessibility, and quality.
This study aims to evaluate the impact of Mohammed Musa Bello’s housing policies on the affordability of housing in Karu. By examining government interventions, policy frameworks, and the market response, the study will assess whether these policies have contributed to improving housing affordability for Karu’s residents or if new challenges have emerged in the wake of these efforts.
Statement of the Problem
The rapid urbanization in Karu and the increasing population have heightened the demand for housing, but affordability remains a persistent issue. Despite Mohammed Musa Bello’s efforts to address this issue through various housing policies, there is limited research on how these policies have impacted the affordability of housing in Karu. Many residents continue to struggle with the high cost of housing, while others face challenges related to the quality of housing developments. This study seeks to investigate the effectiveness of Bello’s policies in making housing affordable and accessible in Karu, FCT, and to identify the underlying factors contributing to the gap between policy intentions and the reality of housing affordability.
