A recent poll by Legit.ng has shown that some Nigerians do not think the federal government has done enough to stop the spread of COVID-19 in the country. Since the federal ministry of health confirmed the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) case in Lagos state on February 27, 2020, the number of cases has spread across states. The government, through the federal ministry of health, has been strengthening measures to ensure an outbreak in Nigeria is controlled and contained.

The latest data from the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) released on Thursday, August 20, showed that Nigeria has so far confirmed 50,964 cases of the disease. The country has also treated and discharged 37,569 patients while it has recorded 992 deaths. However, despite the efforts of the federal government in containing the spread of the disease, some Nigerian think the government needs to do more. A recent poll by Legit.ng shows that more than half of the respondents, 57%, said the government has not done enough to prevent another increase in coronavirus cases in the country. But while 18.6% of respondents expressed confidence in the government's handling of the pandemic, 23.3% of respondents showed a lack of care over the issue. Meanwhile, the presidential task force on COVID-19 has said the attitude of Nigerians towards the disease has been the greatest challenge in the government's collective efforts against the pandemic.
