Ever since the first reported case of COVID-19 on February 27, 2020, Nigeria is yet to effectively contain the spread of the disease. In spite of different measures taken by the Nigerian government to counter the effect of the pandemic, the consequences of COVID-19 are severely felt in the business, health, economic and social spheres of the country. The primary aim of this study was to examine the trends in the growth rates of COVID-19 and related fatalities across the six regions of Nigeria with a view to validating poor condition of healthcare facilities in the country. The cross-sectional times series method was used. COVID-19 data for Nigeria and the world were extracted from the who COVID -19 databank between August, 2020 and February 22, 2021. COVID-19 incidence growth rates and COVID-19 related fatality growth rates were generated at a-one-month successful interval for a period of 6 months. Descriptive data analysis was done using Stata version 16. Results acros -s the six regions showed that the highest growth rates for COVID-19 incidence were obtained for North central (80.1%) and Southwest (73.3%) region in January 2021. In addition, results across the regions indicated that the highest growth rates for COVID-19 related fatalities were derived for north central (39.3%) and Southwest (30.9%) region in January 2021. The study concluded that perhaps the rise in COVID-19 incidence and COVID-19 related fatalities could be as a result of the weak state of healthcare deliveries in the country.

This study is being conducted when the Corona virus spreads around the world and becomes an economic major crisis in 2020. This study answers certain questions, such as how many countries are affected with corona viruses and decreases their economic activities. What are the most effective international monetary and fiscal measures for dealing with the crisis? Is monetary and fiscal policy employed as a vaccination to keep the global economy from collapsing? It’s a major topic these days, especially with the globe facing COVID-19.

Researchers explain the impact of the Corona virus on the world economy by getting information from Standard and poverty agencies (S and P), Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and from different websites and reports. Moreover, researchers obtain information from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). In addition, explain the losses from one industry to another and concluded that the global economy is confronted by dual crises in nature. The deaths of millions of people are on the one hand and the economy crisis on the other. The first problem comprises saving people from death, and the second in saving the universe against economic crises.

But both challenges are inconsistent. If individuals want to preserve lives, a remain at home and a social distance policy are imposed, and the country is shut down. However, we can rescue our citizens living, but the economy collapses fast because all the companies in the country have been shut down. If economic crisis is saved, people are supposed to go out and work as normal, the global economy would boost but soon millions or billions of people are lost who will also have an impact on the economic downturn. Policymakers, doctors and manufacturers of health should work together to identify solutions to benefit both individuals living and saving economic crisis.
