In any planned economy of the world, the issue of high cost of building material cannot be over-emphasized. There should be a regulatory bodies or agencies of government with the view to achieve harmonic development in real property market in such a way and manner as to promote economic growth and satisfaction to the terming population who invest in this sector of economy as a result of significant role building materials play in real estate, there must be a check to any abnormal rise in such materials being used in other not to cause high cost of building construction.  

However, due to weakness in regulatory agencies there is an alarming rate of inflationing trend leading to unstable economy in our nation which therefore has an adverse effect on the building industry.

1.6 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY 

A. The time limit given for the project by the school Authority has limited a wide research on such topic.

B. Fund to run some expenses for the project is not sufficient which has restricted a wider study

1.7 THE STUDY AREA

Ile-Ife is a historic town its history is unique because ile- ife is regarded as the cradle of the Yoruba. The most valuable history and as a result of this been handed down by oral tradition and as a result of this , many valuable events of this historic town cannot be over emphasized by the use of date .

Nevertheless, the belief is alive that Ile- Ife the home of Yoruba, Oduduwa being the ancestor.

The formation of Ile –Ife as indicate by Rev Samuel Johnson (1921) is enhanced in many legends and same of these legends level written while other level still in written once of the legends state that the place now known as Ile Ife was originally covered with water . These were people around ore Iyere was once of them. One was a hunter who used to come to the areas to hunt but the water did not allow him to build a permanent settlement.

The story state that, god (Olodumare) sent Obatala to find Ile-Ife. the was gives a bag of a soil, a hen which have five toe,  a chameleon and a symbol of authority which is known today as (Ase) in Yoruba . Obatala was instructed to put the soil on water then hen on the soil and the expectation was the that the hence will scattered the soil and the water would recede, the chameleon would best the solidity of the land so formed.( Longman 1921).

Oral traditions do not support the theory of migration same accounts of oral tradition stated that Ile- Ife was there life first originated. Obatala was the once instructed by ‘god’ (Olodumare) to mold a man when he had finished he report back to Olodumare who then gave lives to the molded bodies. Although oral tradition and history do not agree on how, and where Oduduwa come to Ile-Ife but the source accept Oduduwa as the founder of the Yoruba. Therefore all Yoruba believe that their ancestor was Oduduwa.
