      abstract = {The aim of this Study is to compare housing affordability among teaching staff of Lead City University, Ibadan and University of Ibadan, Nigeria with a view to enhancing access to housing. This study used a quantitative research approach, deemed most suitable for assessing and contrasting housing affordability among faculty members of public and private universities in Ibadan, Nigeria. Data were obtained through structured questionnaires administered on 496 respondents, comprising 318 teaching staff from UI and 178 from LCU, complemented by field observations. The population of interest was stratified according to the two selected Institutions University of Ibadan and Lead City University. Descriptive and inferential statistics such as frequencies, percentages and mean scores were employed in data analysis. Findings show significant disparities in housing access and quality between the institutions. While most UI staff resided in rented housing (66.7%), LCU staff predominantly owned their homes (60.1%). A substantial portion of teaching staff in both universities faced significant housing affordability challenges, although the burden was more severe among LCU staff. About 66.0% of UI staff and 79.8% of LCU staff spent above the 30% housing-to-income affordability benchmark. The study concluded that disparities in institutional support, income structures, and access to affordable housing finance substantially affect housing affordability among university lecturers in Ibadan. It recommends the formulation of institutional housing policies.},
