Although advancements in science and research have created the capacity to better understand the phenomenon of the conflict between man, nature and the environment, this has not prevented the occasional emergence of epidemics or pandemics. The COVID-19 pandemic ? though not the first such pandemic of the modern era ? has turned out to be most disruptive, with an impact not imagined, even a few months earlier; a major turning point for the world.
In intelligible and communicative writing, Ehi Braimah has in this book, immersed himself in the task of documenting the COVID-19 experience from the perspective of a journalist and public policy analyst; analysing some of the key issues around the management of the pandemic in Nigeria in terms of the process, the people’s response, the role of the leadership, and the steps needed to diversify and unlock the potential of the Nigerian economy and environment to deal with similar occurrences in the future.
An honest and earnest personal look at a momentous year from the Nigerian perspective.
