The outbreak of pandemic Covid-19 all over the world has disturbed the
educational, political, social, economic, religious, and financial
structures of the whole world. The world’s topmost economies such as the
US, China, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, and many others are on
the verge of collapse. Besides, Stock Markets around the world have been
pounded and oil prices have fallen off a cliff. In just a week 3.3
million Americans applied for unemployment and a week later another 6.6
million people started searching for jobs. Also, many experts on
economic and financial matters have warned about the worsening condition
of global economic and financial structure.
In order to reduce and
deal with the spread of the infection in Nigeria, the national
Government commanded the utilization of face-mask; social distancing,
utilization of sanitizers in washing hands and cleaning of surfaces
regularly in contact with, thess safety measures are all applicable to
all individual and including university students. In any case, before
the resumptions of tertiary institutions, the Nigeria Governments
encouraged all tertiary institutions to guarantee that there is a
sufficient consistence compliance to Covid-19 safety measures. hence,
the extent to which tertiary institutions in Nigeria adhere to those
compulsory safety measures have been uncertain likewise other parts of
Nigeria. Thus, this study emerged as a result of this uncertainty.
1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
A
pandemic is a disease outbreak that spreads across countries or
continents. It affects more people and takes more lives than an epidemic
which according to the World Health Organization (WHO), declared
COVID-19 to be a pandemic when it became clear that the illness was
severe and that it was spreading quickly over a wide area.
Coronavirus has been known to be a terrifying and destructive disease that can annihilate human lives across the world.
The
Nigerian Government from the absolute first episode of this infection
in Nigeria mandated the citizens to apply several measures to curb its
widespread in the country. The closure of schools in the country from
primary, secondary and tertiary level were among the measures the
government took to reduce the rate of the spread of the pandemic. On the
point of reopening schools in Nigeria, the government stated different
measures school owners and tertiary institution management should but
inn place in a quest to fighting the pandemic rand curb its widespread
among students. Hence, most tertiary schools in Nigeria are over
populated by thousands of students flowing in and out. However, the
extent of law evasion and neglects among university students are
overwhelming.
Johnson (2020) opined that; the adherence to the
Covid-19 rules by tertiary students in Nigeria will be a challenge to
the management because of the fact that many of the students are
influenced by social groups as many belongs to notorious societies which
encourages law evasion. Thus, this study is geared towards
investigating the level at which tertiary institutions comply to
Covid-19 safety prevention measures.
