CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY Land constitutes the basis of man’s livelihood and existence. This is especially true because the extent of man’s development is embedded in the value and measure of land. Inextricably linked with land is the housing sector which is at the core of any developed nation. The impact of the housing sector on the economy of any nation cannot be undermined as it is crucial to any solution proffered to the process of the nation’s development. In most developed economies, it is seen as an important sector for stimulating economic growth.1 It plays a prominent role in both developed and developing economies of the world. In fact it has been acknowledged as one of the guaranteed means for the creation of jobs, eradication of poverty, reduction of corruption and ensuring the security of the nation.2 It has also made an impact in terms of ensuring social benefits in the aspect of contributing to community and nation building. As opined by the Minister of Finance in her keynote address3 in India, each new housing unit generates 1.5 direct and 8 indirect jobs and in South Africa, each housing unit creates 5.62 direct jobs and 2.5 indirect jobs. This shows that the housing sector is one which must be assiduously focused on by every nation. Even in Nigeria, housing has been recognized as a major priority but despite 54 years of her independence, much is still left to be desired in the mortgage industry. The housing sector has a significant impact on other sectors of the economy.
