Abstract

This chapter examines the impact of Nigeria’s containment and mitigation strategies established at the outbreak of the pandemic in the country. The chapter asserts that government intervention reflected a holistic approach which included practical welfare strategies to facilitate the provision of essentials vital for social-economic stability and development. While this approach suggests a significant shift in the government’s neoliberalist stance to a more welfarist outlook, the strategies fail to achieve the desired result due to certain prevailing factors such as corruption and weak institutions. The chapter emphasises the need to urgently tackle the prevalence of these vices to halt the country’s looming socio-economic crisis.
