Abstract

This research work focuses on the “The role of mortgage institution in housing delivery in Nigeria. A case study of Anambra Home Limited (2006-2014). The study aimed at finding out how to reduce the cost of housing in Nigeria and to find out how to deal with the problem of over population in Nigeria effectively so that there will be an effective housing delivery. The instrument used in this research work is questionnaire. In analyzing the data collected the researcher checked all the responses to ensue that each question was well responded. I found out that over population is one of the major problem of housing delivery in Nigeria since Nigeria population seek to rise every day and the government are not doing anything to control it. Though mortgage institution have tried to solve housing problems in the country, but they still have a lot to do. The federal government still needs to asset much in financing the institution to enhance the capability. Therefore. I recommend that the capital based of mortgage institution should be reviewed to enable them function effectively and finance huge and monumental projects without shaking.
