THE PROBLEM AND PROSPECTS OF CASING IN THE NEW STATE CAPITAL

Chapter One

Preface

casing is one of the three introductory musts of life. He quality of man is generally enhanced by his power of house. The lesser population of the world population is housed, the population that’s well housed is in the nonage while dilapidated houses are accommodating the lesser population of the world.

The attention and rapid-fire increase of population in the new state centrals is grounded on the many and shy social services in the city. The main pointer in the new state capital is the problem of a casing, houses to match theover-growing demand so as to produce rent which are reasonable to meet the community and which are indifferent in terms of returns to investors in casing in the civic area and developing areas like Asaba- statistics have it that in Asaba, some areas, the home is too small to allow for decent family life and offers no further than a bitsy residence to its members. Statistics also have it that civic lodging are in generalover-crowded and girdled by a deplorable civic geography situation. This most wrong situation is still setting hard due to the impact of population growth and urbanization, there has been a remarkable increase in recent times.

In the recent rate of growth of population together with a steady force of population from the pastoral area to the civic centres. Theres has been a rapid-fire increase in the number of experts, executive and specialized personels as a result of enhancement, changes and growth in development standard enhancement in the general position of substance; income, living condition of people has led to people demanding further and better houses.

On the other hand, force for number of reasons has not kept pace with this demand in the civic areas because of diligence positioned there, it has made it possible for people to resettle to these areas despite the quality of a problem in chancing a means to have accommodation which is fairly cheap with the means of the pastoral folk and yet of sufficient high quality ot satisfy certain introductory conditions.

Though these days, expert now live in the pastoral areas because of developments, it still takes time to construct dwelling house, while the structures are under construction, they will have to accept the available bones . The casing problem out of necessity to be considered against the background of the social gospel of the community. there are certain tricks associated with the profitable of jackets, particularly the fact that there’s considerable inconsistency on both the demand and force side of casing.

There’s the unalloyed ‘ MARXIST ’ view that government should be completely married and has a responsibility ot give accommodation at reasonable rents must be handed for every person and so on should be allowed, for case to take advantage of his power of land or wealth to exploit the tenant group in society, having said all these, it’ll be proper to state the problem of casing in Asaba. It’s veritably common to see that the accession of and is tough in the sense that land is precious and counted in force and in addition, it takes a rather long time to negotiate and come by good title to land indeed after land must have been acquired and structure erected. It isn’t enough because it can not accommodate the bulging population and this fox leads to over crowding which isn’t good for healthy living. structures are over crowded and mortal being also are too much due to large ménage size and deficit of casing.

One point should be understood and that’s of good planning, if Asaba is well planned, also the problem of casing may not be important. But because of shy installation serviceability and amenities not been handed for. It’ll also be worsen when the population is important or over crowded. Come to suppose of it rents are veritably high for the good enough structures and this doesn’t go down well for the low income earners and this makes for an unhealthy way of living but if the government could come and make low cost houses, also it’ll save these residers from their suffering.

Although residers who can go decent houses ot live in, it makes for the high growth of apartment, because they now resort to live in place where there isn’t good ventilation and the house cluster. These houses aren’t endless in the sense that if there’s heavy wind or rain, the structure collapses and life is lost, tough because they will have to give another accommodation or they will have to rebuild.

Lack of planning is another problem because since these houses are erected carelessly, it does make for good planning. They don’t get the go ahead from the authorities concerned, these structures have been developed and demolished when the planning authorities find out, so it’s safer to get the go ahead from the authorities concerned indeed though it’ll take so important time ot acquire but it should be worthwhile in the long run.

Decent casing is one of the introductory need of every existent, the family and community. in general apre-requisite to the survival of man. The casing as a unit of the terrain has profound influence on the health, effectiveness, social geste satisfaction and general weal of the community it reflects the artistic, social and profitable value of a society as it’s the stylish physical and literal substantiation of civilization in a city and country. The significance of furnishing acceptable casing in any city can not be over stated. It’s a goad of the public frugality.

Decent casing on the other had can be regarded as a right of every individualities, a great population of the population in Asaba live insub-standard and poor casing and a deplorable, unsanitary rapid-fire urbanization and profitable growth have compounded the problem of acute population in Asaba.

Casing Problem In Asaba

There’s thus great deficit of casing especially for the low- income earners in Asaba. A ménage sample check conducted one named part of the city in October 1995 by the actors of this factory revealed that about84.46 of the casing units are apartments while only28.4 are apartment units. This has redounded in high room residency portion of further than five( 5) persons per inhabitable room as recorded in corridor of Umuaji, Umuezei, Egengbome in Asaba.

flat sharing or multiple occupation of apartment apartments are measures used by those of low- income earner to requital. This frequently leads to the deterioration of the domestic structures and the terrain. The causes of deficit of apartment house can be attributed to similar factors as high cost of land by accession, lack of finance, high cost of structure accoutrements , and population trends, reluctance of private inventor to invest in apartment houses due largely to know returns from similar development and the fact that planning schemes for some of the layout designedly barred apartment structure eg Ezena Avenue.

Sitting of certain casing design(i.e portion of low cost casing) are some of the factors responsible for submerging in the megacity. Some draws in the Ezenei Avenue, low cost casing for illustration were constructed with maximum casualness to the geomorphology of the area so that water is anticipated to flow against the radiant. In general, the problem of casing in Asaba is further of deficit of applicable casing units in form of apartment or sheltering houses whose rents are affordable by people in the low income position than deficit of flat apartment numerous of which vacant due to high rentage.

Also flood tide wreaks in Asaba, make people lose property and also the lost of five’s are encountered. These problems bring about rebuilding and relegation of inhabitants of the affected structures.

Literal Background Of Asaba

Asaba is located in the eastern part of delta state with sixteen( 16) original government area. A rapid-fire developing civic centre and the executive headquarter of Delta state in Nigeria. Its literal roots is from both Kogi and Anambra state.

A woman named Diaba from Agbakuba vill in Nteje, Anambra state, was said to have been saturated by Onojobo, a Napoleon and dealer from Igala land, while she was abiding in Eze Anyanwu’s court as one of the court girls. She was said to have hailed from the royal line of Ezechima, the fabulous ancestor of multitudinous agreements east of the Niger, including Onitsha. This explains why Benin, Asaba and Onitsha feel to partake a common culture and tradition as in the area of jubilee caparison like traditional coral globules and hand- woven big flowing white gowns and traditional titles scuh as the Onowu Iyasele of Onitsha and the Iyase Onowu of Asaba. Asaba is one of the arising civic centres of present date Nigeria. Before the creation of Delta and Ado state, Asaba was the headquarter of Oshimili south original government which has a limited political significance. After the creation of Delta state and Asaba as the headquarter continue to attract numerous governmental functionaries similar as ministries and all types of government parastatals thereby swelling up in population increase, in working class people.

moment, Asaba is passing lesser casing problems than ever ahead and it’s stressed that impact may take some time to subside.

Problems Of Land Acqusition For Housing

Before the land use Act of 1978, power of land was rested on individualities and community which affect to clumsy and obstacles to individualities willing to acquire an interest in land. The alnd use Act stopped private possessors and individualities form retaining land rather having possession on it in infinity. It rested all land in the power of the governor of each state. Before a private existent acquires and interest in land from the state governor, he has to suffer series of protocol before he can be issued with a right of title or instrument of residency to use and enjoy the applicable piece of land generally substantiation in instrument of residency( C OF O).

The system and process of securing title to land is wrong and clumsy. As a first step towards this, the private existent has to buy a form which contains some questions to be completed and submitted before specified time. The authority concerned with the processing and insurance of this instrument of residency frequently make situations delicate for the inventor who would else which to make immediate development. this is because the instrument of residency consume a lot of time before it can be issued to a inventor. The coming stage after the processing of the form is that, those that have been approved are rent to the governor for countersign and whereby governor is busy, he can also assign this duty of countersign to the manager of lands, workshop and transport, who endorses his hand with a red wax to show its validity.

The successful aspirant is also given a instrument of residency to use and enjoy the land subject to the conditions and covenants contained in the said instrument.

The sense being the issue of condition and covenants is that only authorized occupier can develop, enjoy or lease the land but subject of course to the zoning and planning laws and other regulations affecting land use, in applicable civic area. it’s now clear from the anteceding that casing is militated against by the problem of land accession in Asaba.
