dc.description.abstractIt is important to note that there cannot be an academic setting without buildings. This fact was recognized and emphasized in the University Educational policy of the Third National Development Plan which recommended that physical projects in form of buildings should expand with the population increase of students and the staff members. Taking a case study of Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, the researcher finds that the building requirements of most of the departments have not been met. Some of the problems which the research work has exposed in connection with this include (1) Insufficient funds (from the Nigerian Universities Commission) to carry out the intended capital projects (2) Lack of qualified and experienced contractors and consultants to carry out the contract, (3) Administrative bureaucracy involved in the award of contracts, (4) Forces beyond the control of any one i.e. prevailing bad weather conditions. These problems have an ultimate result of causing delay in the completion of buildings. In light of the above, the following policy recommendations have been proposed (1) The University should seek other sources of generating revenue without completely depending on the NUC. This it can achieve by consolidating its consultancy services. (2) The University should use the services of qualified consultants from the Faculties of vii Engineering and Environmental Design rather than relysolely on the Estate Engineer who cannot conveniently handle all the projects of the University. (3) The bureaucracy involved in the award of contract should be relaxed to allow for quick administrative action on contract matters. (4) Projects should be timed in such a way that from the beginning to the end, the bad weather periods are eliminated.en_US
