This paper discusses residents’ partnering in public housing basic infrastructure facilities as a
strategy for satisfactory public housing provision. It was motivated by the result of the evaluation of the status
of basic infrastructure facilities in our public housing estates considering the rapid relocation of occupants to
private estates and neighborhoods and on the premise that these are model housing estates. It identifies the
quantity, quality, maintenance and level of residents’ satisfaction on the basic infrastructure facilities which are
roads, sanitary and non- sanitary facilities, water, electricity, and solid waste disposal facilities. A total of five
hundred and six households representing seventy-two point three percent of the total households in five habited
estates in Awka-Nigeria, viz Udoka, Ahocol I and II, Iyiagu and Real estates were examined through a fifty-four
item questionnaire and analyzed. Results obtained reveal generally that though the quantity of basic
infrastructure facilities provided in the estates are fairly adequate, the quality and maintenance of these
facilities are poor. The residents of the estates are generally dissatisfied with the provisions. The paper
recommends a strategy for the involvement of the public housing estates residents in public housing basic
infrastructure provision
