ABSTRACT
This study examines the housing satisfaction in the housing facility provided by the Shehu Shagari College of Education (SSCOE) and Umaru Ali Shinkafi Polytechnic, Sokoto (UASP) located in Wamakko Local Government Area of Sokoto State. The housing Condition, the housing facilities’ adequacy, and residents' perception of housing satisfaction were assessed. Sixty-seven (67) questionnaires were distributed to the residents of The (SSCOE) and (UASP) staff quarters. A total of forty (40) questionnaires were returned. A simple random sampling technique was used to administer a structured questionnaire, which aided in collecting primary data from the housing occupants. The main aim of this study is to assess the level of residential satisfaction/dissatisfaction perceived by the housing estate residents to raise awareness on the need for better housing for the occupants of these staff quarters and housing policy improvement. The study findings reveal that most of the residents in the study area were dissatisfied with the level of maintenance of their houses poor access to neighbourhood facilities and inadequate supply of good drinking water. As the research indicates, more attention is needed to routine maintenance of facilities, constant supply of water, and provision of good roads in the quarters.
