ABSTRACT
Nigeria faces a tremendous shortfall in housing provisions, especially in its urban areas. Consequently mass housing programme in housing delivery has been adopted as a means of addressing this problem through public private partnership (PPP) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja. However, in the context of declining government funding for housing in Nigeria, relying solely on government programs and subsidies to deliver and manage housing for households is unsustainable. The research demonstrates the implementation of PPP mass Housing from year 2000 to 2010 to determine success achieved. Data for the study was collected through structured questionnaires of 113 housing developers within mass housing districts already mobilized to site and interview of government officials. From the assessment of the estates so far developed under the programme, the findings of the study shows that the private sector have been allocated well over 12,961 hectares of land to participate in the FCT mass housing programme, but has not been successful in the delivery of housing and necessary infrastructure as a result of poor implementation of the programme. Therefore, mass housing programme of the FCT has since inception in the years 2000 to 2010 achieved success rate of 32.25 percent in delivery of housing units to the city residents. Recommendations were made for the improvement of mass housing delivery in FCT. The study concludes that this strategy does not translate into full achievement of the planned objectives of the programme.
