    Abstract
    Residential areas where group of housing units have been built on land to which the occupants have no legal claim or on which they occupy illegally. Are un planned settlements and areas where housing is not in compliance with current planning and building regulations. Therefore, it should be noted that the definitions and meaning of informal settlements or slums vary from areas to areas or regions to regions, (UN. Habitat 2007). J.Mardeusz, 2014 argues that informality is a characteristic of the built environment of many African cities. He adds that people from rural areas and from other countries stream into Africa’s cities in search of opportunities, as many the growth often exceed one percent of the annual growth hence housing shortage is inevitable. Due to the fact that many of the low and medium-income earners like to stay near their working areas to minimize the cost of living and the fear of transportation cost yet accommodation for such big ever increasing numbers of people is not well planned / prepared for, this end up forming informal settlements.
