Housing Problems Resulting to Unwholesome Environmental Conditions in Nigeria

Housing problems, lead to unwholesome environmental conditions. The method used is the review of academic articles, textbooks, internet materials, news articles, and publicly available materials on housing problems. There are also suggestions to overcome these problems, and these are, the government should build low-cost houses to cater to the large number of people who, due to their low-income earnings could not afford a decent apartment; formulation of economic, social, and environmental policies that facilitate housing that is both affordable and sustainable by the government; and improvement of sanitation in poor neighborhoods with poor housing conditions through urban renewal program.
