ABSTRACT
Housing in most countries of the world is an
important economic sector and the manner in which resource are mobilized for
has a major effect on the economy. Despite the knowledge of the importance of
housing, ownership or accessibility to decent houses and mobilization of
resources remain a problem in Nigeria.
This project examines the effect of mortgage institution in the provision of
affordable and sustainable houses in Nigeria. The survey covers mortgage
institutions, federal and state ministries and parastatals, stakeholders in the
building industries and educational sector. To be able to evaluate the effect,
questionnaires were administered with personal interview. A total of fifty (50)
questionnaires were distributed randomly to those staffs. The percentage method
and chi-square test were used in analyzed the data gathered. The results
revealed that the effect f mortgage institutions in Nigeria is inadequate. This
ineffectiveness can be traced to high rate of interest charged on properties,
insufficient fund, low level of participation in the Natural Housing Fund and
down payment. It is recommended that the rate charged on properties should be
reduced, worker should be encouraged to register in the National Housing fund
and he Government in collaboration with lending houses should develop a
formular to remove various bottle neck connected with loans, especially the
issue of collaterals.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY:
Housing provides more than shelter for man because
it encompasses all social services and utilities that are needed for a livable
environment in order for any community to be worth living in housing accepted
in man’s hierarchy of need to be next to food.
Odetundun (1995) affirmed that housing in most
countries of he world was an important economic sector and the manner in which
resources were mobilized for housing had a major effect on the economy.
Fundamental to the provision of adequate housing in qualitative terms is the
availability of housing finance. According to Olutuah (2001) housing quality in
Nigeria
is indeed poor; this can be glanced form he high rate of urbanization in the
country which he described as social economically handicapped urbanization. The
high rate of urbanization resulting form rural urban migration and high rate of
population increase is without corresponding commensuration in the rate of
economic development, social change and technological advancement. Urban
poverty is thus concomitant of such development which finds ready expression in
a high incidence of housing poverty.
As Muoghalu (1987) observed, housing poverty is
determined by the mobility to afford standard housing thus, the provision of
adequate housing is hinged on the accessibility of housing finance. In Nigeria, the
problems of housing are enormous and complex but the private sector had
contributed immensely to its provision in the country. Onibokun (1990) opined
that the private sector provides a preponderate proportion of residential
building in the country. The rapid rate of urbanization, high rate of inflation
and instable economy have given to increase in cost of housing which is often
beyond the capacity of the medium / low income groups.
As parts of the efforts in addressing housing
problems in Nigeria,
government has institute mortgage institutions to provide low cost housing
loans that are accessible even to low income earners.

1.7 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

experienced in obtaining suitable materials on this study, because of the
reluctance of owners of these materials and some cases their staff to create
time to search for them and give out. In some cases, they were too busy to give
the necessary help due to their harmonious engagement.
Some respondents need constant remainders by the researcher
before they could complete the questionnaires and this consumer extra cost of
transportation and time while some were returned unfilled and this caused the
researcher starting all over again to look for other respondents to fill and
