EXAMINATION OF THE ROLE OF COMMERCIAL BANKS IN HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1   Background to the Study

Right from the time, food, clothing and shelter have been the three most basic requirements of man, of all these three requirements food and clothing are the two, which influence man’s life more than housing in which they seek shelter, security, comfort and dignity.  It is infact where man start and ends his daily activities. Housing is mainly the most important factor, which determine the nature and from of urban settlements and the quality of human existence is directly related to it.  housing is defined by Oyeyipo (1980) to mean the provision of any form of structure, erection of building which is man made for the purpose of accommodating a person or persons by taking housing to mean only shelter, the definition appears deflective as it ignores all these infrastructural facility, which housing brings along with it.  the World Health Organization Committee on Housing define it as “the physical structure then use for shelter including equipment and devices needed for physical and social well being of occupants” such equipment and devices includes utilities and services like electricity, water supply, and good access roads, sewage and refuse dump facilities.

The fact remains that Port-Harcourt metropolis is occupies mainly by government workers with low income.  These positions make it difficult for them to afford the cost of developing housing for their use. They therefore resort to borrowing from the commercial banks in other to find money for housing development and also Port-Harcourt metropolis is made up of river line areas, swamp ground. The Questions then “is the existing commercial banks in Port-Harcourt metropolis enough to satisfy the demands for residential housing? Are loans of these low income earners residing in Port-Harcourt metropolis? If not, how can the bank be improved. This research work therefore intends to existing commercial banks of Port-Harcourt metropolis with a view to find out how efficient it has been performing and proposing how the system could improved.

Housing development is a fundamental and essential features in the urban environment.  Adequate provision of housing development have a great deal of positive impact on both the economic and social life of the urban citizens and its inadequacy has reverse effect. The shortage of housing development is one of the major problem facing urban centres especially in the developing countries.  Housing development involves large amount of money, which is usually not within the capability of most urban dwellers particularly the medium and low income groups, the rate of housing construction often tend to be small and generally depends on financial resources.  This situation of finance scarcity is made worse by the rigid attitude of commercial banks towards lending for housing development.  Their system of granting loans make it very difficult for the medium and low income groups to benefit the available facility.  The bulk of the mortgage loans goes to the upper class.This research work intend to look into existing commercial banks in River State urban, to find out if it is adequate to satisfy the housing needs of inhabitants of Port-Harcourt.

1.2   Statement of the Problem

One problem facing the inhabitants of Port-Harcourt metropolis is the issue of housing supply.  This is as a result of government little interest in housing development in the area.  The attitude of some financial institutions in the insurance of finance to real estate developers and the building societies also mitigate the pace of housing development in the area. The difficulties encountered by housing developers in obtaining loans from the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN) in turn discourages interested developers from investing in housing development as most of them would not want to hang their money on incomplete housing project.  This however, create low supply of housing to accommodate the incessant population of the metropolis and lead to congestion.

As a result of the present economic crunch where equity capital has become inadequate and insufficient for finance housing development, it has been observed that only commercial banks that can help in providing loans with low interest rate to at least encourage developers into the business again.  On this note, we want to undertake an examination of the role of commercial banks in housing development in project of Port-Harcourt metropolis.
