UN says Nigeria is facing a housing crisis, with conditions among the worst in the world.
UN Housing Rapporteur, Leilani Farha, said more than two-thirds of Nigerians are living in poor settlements with lack of basic amenities.
She said some settlements lack access to potable water, toilets facilities and many are exposed to health problems due to dangers of stagnant water.
Madam Farha warned that corrupt money flowing into the housing sector had led to a boom in the building of luxury homes, beyond the reach of the vast majority of Nigerians.
She also criticised poor housing policies and the use of force by states and developers to evict communities, which are mainly women and children.
