Abstract
The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic
and its economic and social effects on households have
created an urgent need for timely data to help monitor and
mitigate the social and economic impacts of the crisis and
protect the welfare of Nigerian society. To monitor how the
COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the economy and people of
Nigeria and to inform policy interventions and responses,
the National Bureau of Statistics with technical support
from the World Bank implemented the Nigeria COVID-19
National Longitudinal Phone Survey (NLPS) from April 2020 to
April 2021. This report draws on NLPS and other relevant
data to analyze COVID-19 impacts in Nigeria’s human capital,
livelihoods and welfare. It also looks ahead to the broad
challenges of building back better in Nigeria and summarizes
priorities for policymaking and implementation.
