One of the major challenges of housing in Nigeria is how to address existing variations in the pattern of residential quality across different urban areas. Through a survey of 406 housing units selected from three residential areas in Osogbo Township in Nigeria, this study examines and compares the pattern of housing quality. Using descriptive statistics and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), where; F =24.786 and P = 0.00 - significant at 0.05, the study shows that residential quality varies in pattern from one area to another. By comparing the mean differences among the zones, Zones C and A had 6.84, while C and B had 5.298. These values indicate that residential quality of "Zone C" is better relative to those of Zones "B' and "A" in Osogbo.
The study concludes that appropriate policy and strategies should be put in place to improve housing quality within different residential areas in Nigeria

PROCENA KVALITETA RASPOREDA STANOVANJA U NIGERIJI: SLUČAJ GRADSKOG PODRUČJA OSOGBO
Jedan od glavnih izazova stanovanja u Nigeriji je kako pristupiti postojećim varijacijama u rasporedu kvaliteta stanovanja u različitim gradskim područjima. Kroz ispitvanje 406 stambenih jedinica odabranih iz tri stambena naselja u Osogbu, Nigerija, ova studija istražuje i poredi raspored kvaliteta stanovanja. Korišćenjem opisne statistike i Analize Varijacija (ANOVA) gde je F =24.786 i P = 0.00 – bitno pri 0.05, studija pokazuje da se kvalitet stanovanja razlikuje po rasporedu od naselja do naselja. Poređenjem značajnih razlika između zona, dobija se za zone C i A 6.84, dok su C i B imale 5.298. Ove vrednosti pokazuju da kvalitet stanovanja u Zoni C je relativno bolji od zona B i A u Osogbu.
Zaključak studije je da odgovarajuća politika i strategija moraju biti primenje da bi se poboljšao kvalitet stanovanja u različitim stambenim područjima u Nigeriji.
