2. OVERVIEW

Backgroundtotheseminar
We live in a world where realities push us to
continuously innovate and develop new
strategies and concepts towards improving
our proficiencies. In the housing sector, we
cannot ignore, however, the current realities
staring us in the face –housing deficit and its
attendantimpacts.
In 2005, the United Nations estimated
Nigeria's population at about 141 million, and
predicted that it would reach 289 million by
2050 (Encarta, 2007). Ten years down the
line, Nigeria has witnessed tremendous
urbanization and population growth thereby
creating demand pressure towards shelter
and efficient supply of infrastructures. In
most Nigeria urban centers housing
problems is not only restricted to quantity
but to the quality of the available housing
units. Consequently, there exists extreme
supply-demandimbalanceofhousing.
Whereas, the housing sector has been
identified as a strong alternative to
stimulating economic growth and capable of
solving the challenges of unemployment in
Nigeria. But sadly, these enormous potential
shave not been fully harnessed as evident in
the current housing deficit in the country.
Given rapid urbanization and the rate of
population growth, availability of land in
relation to the increasing population, cost of
conventional block and brick method means
there is urgent need for a paradigm shift in
the approach to solving the inadequacy of
housing provision in Nigeria with new
technologies.
Introduction to Alternative Building
Technology
Alternative Building Technology has been
adopted and efficiently utilized to solve the
inadequacy of housing supply in most part of
the world and Africa, however, its poor
implementation in the Nigerian building
sphere has been blamed on lack of a good
business case. Discussions with expert in the
industry revealed that there is a significant
amount of misinformation or lack of
information regarding its efficiency and
durability. Apart from poor access to funding
real estate development, cost of
construction is another kettle of fish in the
effective delivery of affordable housing. This
is why Alternative Building Technology, if
well appreciated and strategically deployed
can of course serve as a petri dish for radical
growth and development in the Nigeria real
estate.

3. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Given the cost at which houses are delivered and poor accessibility to mortgage loans,
the low income earners who occupy the base of the pyramid are at the receiving end of
the existing huge housing deficit in Nigeria. How can Alternative Building Technologies
provide building solutions that can increase delivery of sustainable and affordable
housing?
REFRAMING THE PROBLEM
Ÿ What are the strategic objectives of adopting Alternative Building Technologies
(ABTs)?
Ÿ What are the barriers to embracing Alternative Building Technologies in Nigeria?
Ÿ What inputs will be needed to facilitate its acceptance by the end users?
Ÿ What are the challenges that are preventing large scale use of ABTs?
Ÿ What nature of capacity building would be needed to facilitate its use, and for which
professionals?
“Alternative Building Technologies for Affordable Housing Construction (is)
apt, given the need to ensure greater access to home ownership in
countries in Africa through the adoption of new building systems.”
- Mrs. Akon Eyakenyi
(Hon. Minister of Lands, Housing and Urban Development)
