NIGERIA'S PUBLIC HEALTH RESPONSE TO THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC THROUGH PAST EBOLA EXPERIENCES

Abstract

Summary This article aims to analyze how Nigeria, the 86 th ranked State according to the Global Health Security Index (GHS Index), fared through the Covid-19 pandemic by linking its Ebola experience to the pandemic response. The paper will tackle (one of) these questions: Does their response as a State truly reflect the ranking? Or were they, like the rest of the world, truly unprepared and powerless against the outbreak?
