Social scientists have yet to agree on which of the three basic needs—non-shelter, food and clothing—would take precedence.

Sheltr is widely recognized as the second most important basic human food need. Housing in all its aspects is more than just housing, as it encompasses all social services and facilities that help make a community or neighborhood livable. In fact, humans needed this vital good for their own well-being.In fact, housing is a true indicator by which a country’s socio-economic and technological development is measured. “Show me the quality of your people’s homes, and I’ll tell you what kind of country you are,” could be an apt adage.

Simple trash that offers privacy and protection from the elements is out of reach for most members of the human race.

In order to ease the housing burden on residents, different governments in Nigeria once adopted different housing schemes. This policy aims to produce and manage climatically, socially and economically suitable living spaces at affordable prices.

1.6 Definition of terms

casing

A house is a total unit of protection and environment that gives humans a better quality of life. In this respect, the term environment encompasses three groups, which include the natural aspects of the environment, including air, water, plants, and everything that is naturally given to humans. An artificial aspect is anything artificial or creative that enhances the beauty of nature and makes human life more comfortable. This includes services such as roads, electricity, sewage, and water, as well as other buildings around it.

The final aspect is man himself. Therefore, forms of housing can be categorized or traced back to early childhood, traditional society, and modern society. A house can be viewed as an object in which a person lives or an activity in which a person engages.

Turner (1968) refers to dwelling as a verb and a noun. As a verb, housing can be viewed as an activity. That is, people who are somehow involved in the construction of these houses. Human beings are the main actors, and as a noun can be regarded as a human-made object. In one of his coursework, Vagele (1971) states that decent and adequate human protection is one of the basic needs of individuals, families and communities. Homes and living environments have a significant impact on people’s health, performance, social behavior and satisfaction. It also determines the level of social and economic development of the country.

Owning a home is a symbol of prestige and social status in traditional societies and a propensity towards social cohesion and belonging. Good housing is essential to human dignity and employee well-being. Essentially, it provides a physical framework within which the environmental values ​​of humans and societies are liberated, enriched and integrated.

The quality and quantity of housing stock are reliable barometers for measuring a nation’s technological, cultural and civilization level and standard of living. One of the main indicators of a country’s “success” is how it has accommodated its citizens. The three basic human physiological needs are:
Food, shelter, clothing.

Housing is a complex. Products that provide a combination of services that are socially and economically vital to development and are therefore of great importance in national planning and development programmes. Housing must be judged by the impact it has on people, not by what it is. A housing strategy that simply provides housing and structures in place of housing as shelter and services is meaningless and does not work for research.

government

Government is broadly defined as the administrative group of people empowered to govern a political state. Government is the means by which business enforces her policies and is the mechanism by which national policies are determined. Forms of state government or forms of state government refer to the set of political institutions in which state governments are organized. Each subsequent government is made up of bodies of individuals who manage and control policy decisions. Their Anointing Should Be Done and Executed
