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 costa. Towards 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.
