This research was carried out to examine how government policies and the economy of the nation are affecting organizations and individuals towards owning their own house(s) using Lokoja as a case study.
The researcher’s information relied on data collected through questionnaire, (50 questionnaires were issued out and 40 was received back), oral interview followed by note taking. Our findings show that the economy of Kogi state and the state government policies affect the citizens.
Based on this result, conclusion was drawn that general economics and government policies have crucial and negative effect on building constructions as it holds back majority of having a place to call their home. The result obtained from our research proved that everyone can own a building if government reduces the effect of economics and their policies on building constructions. The following recommendations were made that Kogi State government should look into how their policies and economics are having effects on building constructions such as tax, cost of transportation, bad roads, cost of building materials, price of fuel used in transporting building material and plants and so on. Also teams should be assign to ensure all this are put in place and strictly observed, it is expected of government to reduce economical and governmental policies that are affecting building construction so as to make it easier for everyone to own a home.
