This paper attempts to examine and assess the adequacy of the coverage of the subject area in relation to National and Sectoral goals and objectives; discuss the scope, magnitude and extent of coverage viewing the present and future development requirements and people’s aspirations within the context of a more clear-cut demarcation of subject areas for devolution and decentralization; and suggest a better approach to deal with housing and public utilities in a wider and more comprehensive context of Urban and Environmental-related infrastructure development and management.
