Benson Polycarp and Yakubu Ahmed Ubangari

ABSTRACT
The paper did a review on the performance of the built environment sector and its contribution to Nigeria Gross Domestic Product (GDP). It uses secondary data that were available online. The review shows that between 2010 and 2014 there was a growth in the contribution of the built environment sector to Nigerian GDP. However, a decline was noticed from 2014 to the third quarter of 2016. It is hopeful that the government policy of Vision 2020 which is targeting infrastructural development will, in turn, create employment for the teeming population of Nigerians and increase its contribution to the GDP.
