      abstract = {A majority of migrants in Nigerian urban centres originate from the rural areas. This category of people obviously falls within the relatively low-income bracket. The implication is that decent housing is not accessible to them as they arrive in the towns. But because they urgently need shelter, they have always resorted to constructing make-shift dwellings for themselves if they also do not have relatives/friends to put them up. It is not unusual to find some of them living anywhere “convenient” on the street or crowding into the “Sabon-Garis” of the urban areas. The problem is not just that migrants are exposed to a precarious residential life. It is also the impact of their modest effort at self-accommodation on the urban landscape, particularly, if one considers the high migrant content of the populations of Nigerian towns. The paper, which is based on case studies of migration and urbanization in selected urban centres of Nigeria, examines these issues from ah housing quality perspective. Among the towns considered are Abeokuta, Auchi, Bassa, Enugu, Ibadan, Ile-Ife, Mangu, Lagos and Warri. A few suggestions are made in the light of some of the options available.},
