While there is a plurality of housing issues, the problem of infrastructure in housing remains prominent especially when mass housing schemes are considered. The failure of some of these housing schemes has revealed that housing provision transcends the mere provision of shelter for needs of man. The purpose of the research is to evaluate the availability or otherwise of the infrastructure and to ascertain user satisfaction of the available infrastructural facilities in Tambari Housing Estate, Bauchi, Bauchi State. The study adopted the use of checklist and physical observation to find out the availability or otherwise of the basic infrastructural facilities in the housing estate, and also the use of questionnaire to ascertain the satisfaction of the users with the available infrastructure and the maintenance service rendered by the management authority. The findings indicated that some of the infrastructure are available while some are not, and some of the respondent are satisfy with the state of some of the infrastructure. The study discovered that the amount of infrastructural facilities available in the study area is slightly adequate while some are not available. Availability and adequacy of infrastructural facilities is a major factor that determines the environmental condition and live ability of any settlement.

However, democracy is not a potted plant which can be transported into any soil and grown without work or effort. In 1999, Nigeria joined other civilised countries by enthroning democratic political system. Consequently the generality of Nigerians had expected that the return of democratic rule to the country in 1999 will usher in a new dawn. These optimism, hope and great expectations were regrettably misplaced. This paper examines Nigeria under democratic rule from 1999 to date that is the fourth republic.
