Project Abstract
<p>
The aim of this<br>research work is to assess the impact of infrastructural development on housing<br>provision in Uyo local government. The research assesses the various<br>infrastructures available in the area and it impact on housing provision. To<br>achieve this aim, research questions were asked. The survey research design was<br>adopted for the study. The research design deploy was the before and after<br>design, which enable the researcher to ascertain the rate of housing provision<br>in the area before and after infrastructural development. The population of<br>study was made up of both property owners and tenant in the study area. The<br>researcher used questionnaire, interview and personal observation as methods of<br>data collection. A sample size of 274 was derived using simple radon sampling<br>technique. He hypothesis developed was tested using Chi square.it was observed<br>that the rate of housing provision before infrastructural develop was low.<br>Also, it has been deduced that there has been an increase in housing provision<br>due to the availability of basic infrastructures. The data collated was<br>analyzed based on interpretation and conclusion was arrived.

Project Overview
<p>
</p><p><b></b></p>
<p>Infrastructure refers to the<br>fundamental facilities and systems serving a country, city, or area, including<br>the services and facilities necessary for its economy to function (Frank,<br>2003). It typically characterizes technical structures such as housing, roads,<br>bridges, tunnels, water supply, sewers, electrical grids, telecommunications,<br>and so forth, and can be defined as “the physical components of interrelated<br>systems providing commodities and services essential to enable, sustain, or<br>enhance societal living conditions. However, all these coupled together can<br>bring about the provision of good and affordable housing (Nubi, 2003).</p><p>Housing infrastructural provision refers to the bringing into<br>existence of the basic amenities and services which must be in place for a<br>particular activity or pursuit. However, no nation can boast of significant<br>development or an enhanced economy without providing the basic infrastructures<br>for the citizens’ well-being (Otegbulu & Adewunmi, 2008). Provision of<br>adequate infrastructural facilities is not taken for granted in developed<br>countries; however, it remains a major challenge in developing countries,<br>especially in Nigeria (Ajanlekoko, 2001). According to Yomi (2003), the problem<br>of housing provision has become an everyday discussion in all quarters of the<br>public and private services. It has become increasingly glaring that most of<br>the urban population live in dehumanizing housing environment, while those that<br>have access to average housing do so at abnormal and outrageous cost. Different<br>definitions have been ascribed by several authors to the word infrastructure.<br>Infrastructural development is the provision of basic physical and organizational<br>structures needed for the operation of a society like industries, buildings,<br>roads, bridges, health services, governance and so on (Amis & Kumar, 2000).<br>It is the development of enterprise or the products, services and facilities<br>necessary for an economy to function (Sulivan and Sheffrin, 2003).</p><p>Infrastructures can be described generally as the set of<br>interconnected structural elements that provide framework supporting an entire<br>structure of development (Donald, 1974). It is an important term for judging a<br>country, region or state’s and individual</p><h3></h3><br>
