Abstract
Housing is paramount to human existence as it ranks among the top three needs of man. It is one of those fundamental social conditions that determine not only the quality of life and welfare of people but also that of places. As a unit of the environment, housing has profound influence on the health, efficiency, social behaviour, satisfaction and general welfare of the community (Onibokun, 1997). The provision of adequate and affordable housing in any country is very vital as it is a stimulant of the national economy. In Nigeria, successive governments have devised and launched strategies to tackle the huge housing deficit but still, adequate supply remains a mirage to all carder of the society. Anambra State, one of the states in the country, over the years has suffered challenges in ensuring adequate and affordable housing to its citizens. This paper therefore studies the housing problems of Anambra state and examines the suitability of adopting Public Private Partnership (PPP) which has become popular amongst Governments for improved housing provision.
