Covid 19 and the Acts of Good Governance in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic
Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic in Nigeria like in all parts of the world has affected all aspects of governance in Nigeria. The Corona disease according to world health organization is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome called corona virus 2 (SARS-coV-2). It has really taken the world by surprise. Even the most developed and advanced nations are not spared. Covid-19 was reported in Nigeria in February where it spread to the other parts of the country rapidly thereby forcing the government to a total lockdown. The Federal Government responded to it by commissioning a presidential task Force responsible for updating the public about the disease which has exposed the federal government inadequacy in its accountability and transparency of governance, which are among the two elements of good governance. This paper will seek to address the strength and weaknesses of the federal government during this pandemic.
