THE NIGERIAN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

The construction industry is a strategic industry to the Nigeria economy providing infrastructure and shelter for other economic activities to take place. Attar et al. (2012) noted that construction is a key sector of the national economy for countries all round the world, as traditionally it takes a big portion in the nation total employment and its significantcontribution to a nation’s revenue as a whole. Studies have also shown that, the scarcity of labour in Nigerian construction industry also contribute to high cost of labour. Construction industries are still facing a number of problems regarding low labour productivities poor safety and insufficient quality(Attar et al, 2012). This is not a healthy situation for the labour-intensive building industry in developing countries of Africa and elsewhere. (Umoru and Yaqub 2013)). In Nigeria, labour productivity growth has been unsatisfactory. In most countries labour account for between 30-50% of project cost. (Business Day live, 2013)
