1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

In general, housing refers to the social issue of ensuring that all members of society have a place to live, be it a house or another type of residence, lodging, or shelter. Numerous governments include administrative sections devoted to housing. The importance of housing as a primary determinant of man's welfare, life sustenance, and survival is of the utmost importance to the individual, family, society, and nation as a whole  (Adams 2022).

Housing is essential to human survival, since it rates among the top three human requirements. Its availability has always been essential to human survival. As an environmental unit, housing has a significant impact on the community's health, productivity, and social welfare (Omole, 2022).

In the case of university students, housing refers to the supply of dormitory accommodations. In recent years, as a result of an increase in the student population, hostel accommodations for university students in Nigeria have become a serious worry for students, parents, and even school administrators, since practically all colleges fail to offer enough student housing. In circumstances where such housing is offered, it is notoriously terrible, filthy, cramped, and overcrowded, consequently limiting the students' capacity to learn successfully.

According to  Adams (2022), the significance of a student's social environment cannot be overstated. The availability, appropriateness, and usefulness of hostel amenities are the determining elements in students' selection of a university, their capacity to concentrate, and their level of contentment. This makes it necessary for colleges to prioritize student housing while simultaneously increasing the school's reputation among contemporaries. The student housing is reported to offer facilities such as bedrooms that can be used for both sleeping and studying, baths and toilets, a kitchen, a laundry room, recreational areas, and Internet connectivity to enhance the study-learning experience.
