Abstract:
The study investigates the Service Delivery of Anambra State Housing Development Corporation (1999-2015). The essence of public corporation is to provide goods and services at a minimum cost to the members of the public. Anambra State Housing Corporation is one of the public corporations charged with the responsibility of providing an affordable housing for the benefit of the entire populace. The nature and manner in which people live in an unsafe, unhygienic, inadequate and high cost building propelled this study. The researcher adopted Max Webers's Organization Theory as its theoretical frame work of analysis. The study reveals that a number of corrupt and mismanagement practices have negatively affected the rationale for the establishment of Anambra State Housing Development Corporation, Awka. The study also revealed that ASHDC; did not meet up with section 16(3) of the 1999 constitution of Nigeria; which compel Nigerian state to provide suitable and adequate shelter for all citizens. Based on this, the following recommendations were made; (1) Government should set up a strong monitoring team for the corporation to monitor the affairs of the corporation towards achieving its goal. (2) the manner in which politician meddle with the affairs of the corporation should be reviewed. (3) Adequate compensation should be paid to the communities where the Estates are located to avoid youth harassment to developers.
