Nigeria’s growing number of homeless people has been a cause for concern for many well-meaning Nigerians and international organizations alike.
These have been aggravated by the exploding population Nigeria is currently facing. Housing deficit, when left unabated, could lead to an increase in crime, an outbreak of diseases, unaffordable house prices as well as poor standards of living. It can also contribute to sexual and gender based violence when people are stuck with abusers in order to access shelter as witnessed during the covid-19 pandemic.
