ABSTRACT

This paper oe.nt~s its attention on the large use of unskilled

labour force for non-traditional residential buildings in

particular and for the construction works in Nigeria as a whole.

The writer notes wit h sadness that a major unemplqyment of

all categories of workers in the construction .industry especially

the unskilled ones is now on the increase, unlike before whm the

construction industry used to be the largest indust:r."Y' in the nation

employing an appreciable proportion of the work force . The reason

adduoed £or this is as a. result of the non reflection of indigenieation

in moat of the architectural desiBnS and the non pa.tranization

of our indigenous contractors '·rhich in turn leads to mass use of

meohanioaJ. plants and other sophisticated but costly conatruotionalt .

items thereby rendering t housands o£ able bodied men and women 1n

the construction sites redundant. It is noted further that this

l)q"'"' development has lead to increase in crime rate in the country

and a drastic reduction in construction profits especially when one

iews the high exchange rate used in procuring these equipment

and the overall maintenance costaTowards reversmg from this ugly practice therefore, the need

for the use of unskilled labour force is ,arl~.culal'.'ly stressed and ttseful sncrg·cstions to''Ta:rda realizine this goal are discussed in this manner.
