INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
The economics of sustainable housing development is an important factor in the recognition of a nation’s success.
It is difficult to talk about the success of a nation without analyzing its housing situation (Daniel, 2009).
As important as the housing sector is to national development the challenges confronting the Nigerian economy in the 21st Century are diverse and enormous (Jiboye, 2009).
However housing represents one of the most basic human needs as a unit of the environment, it has a profound influence on the health, efficiency, social behavior, satisfaction and general welfare of the community (Onibokun, 1998)
The supply of housing in Abuja is mostly through individual efforts who acquire their housing through incremental methods of buying the land and developing over a number of years (CBN, 2013).
Housing by its very nature is a capital intensive venture which if it is to be financed through personal financial resources will require slow and tedious accumulation of savings (Omiri & Nubi, 2007).
More so the social and economic wealth of any nation can only co-exist with good housing (Ural, 2002).
