Covid-19 Pandemic, Government Policies, Patterns of Communication And Citizens Reactions In Nigeria
The sudden emergence of covid-19
is quite worrisome and unprecedented. Several government across the globe have
continued to search for a vaccine that can successfully cure the pandemic,
however, none has been able to convincingly establish it has found the
solution, even the developed nations, talk less of developing nations. Although,
domestically, some unconventional/traditional medical researchers in some
countries claim to have discovered the cure. A professor in the uiversty of
Ibadan suggested a cure which yet to be verified. Amomg medical remedies
suggested include from different sources include chloruine, neem tree and so
on. Government awareness/information programme for senstitization agaist the
deadly disease have been in different forms such as washing of hands, covering
the mouth with the elbow arm pit when one sneezes, cleaning all surfaces, use
of face masks and ultimately stay at home order. All these have been measures
to combat the spread of the pandemic. Apart from these government has also
adopted the distribution of palliatives to cushion the effect of the lockdown.
But with all these most citizens are still displease due to their lack of
knowledge of the reality of the pandemic and of course the scourge of hunger
while the “stay at home order” was been enforced during the lockdown. During
the lockdown period citizens perception, communication and reaction are diverse
due to individual difference and perspectives. While some commend government
efforts many other believe government has not done enough, some even conclude
that COVID-19 has offered people in government the opportunity to embezzle more
money received as donations and also borrow money and by implication Nigeria’s
debt burden has increased. It is even said that the IMF loan Nigerians once
resisted in 198… has now been considered. Some believe t a channel for
financial corruption by government officials.
