For this reason, the opinion of professionals and the public about the subject matter was sought. The sample population for this project is 84 respondents. From the findings, the problems in the use of some local building materials in Nigeria are legal acceptability, social acceptability, durability as doubtful, and technology to handle the setting. Uncertainty of the cost etc. while the prospects are: local building materials cuts down or reduces prices in a relative term. Recommendations towards the use and acceptability of the LBMs include: that various government agencies should engage in the use of LBMs rather than mere campaigning to developers. Also that every state should establish cottage building industries to improve the supply and that more researches should be engaged for more discovery of LBMs. ...
