dc.description.abstractThis study examined the outbreak of COVID-19 and its health implications against the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Nigeria with a specific focus on SDG3 which aims at “Good Health and Well‐Being”. Theoretically, the study reviewed the Realist and Liberalist perspectives of the research topic. The descriptive survey research design was adopted in this study. The data analysed in this study were largely sourced primarily. The data were gathered through a structured questionnaire. 70 copies of the questionnaire were distributed to the staff of Biorepository and Clinical Virology Laboratory of University College Hospital (UCH), Oyo State Ministry of Health (OYSMOH), Oyo State Primary Health Care Board (OYSPHCB), Oyo State SDGs Office; Oyo State Emergency Operation Centre (EOC); the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC); and National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS). The results of the findings showed that COVID-19 has affected the plans for the achievement of SDG3 in Nigeria. The WHO and the World Powers were also found to be supportive of Nigeria in the fight against the epidemic. Finally, the COVID-19 virus was found to have a huge prospect in the race to achieve SDG3 in Nigeria. The study, however, concluded that the achievement of the SDG3 in the year 2030 depends on the actions and policies of the government, the policymakers, and the several agencies saddled with matters concerning health matters and national development. The study then recommended that the Nigerian government through the office of the special adviser on SDGs (both at the federal and state level) should redesign and implement new measures toward achieving the SDG3 in Nigeria. Also, the government, the health institutions, and the several concerned Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs) should reallocate new budgets to ensure other health-related issues are not neglected while tackling the COVID-19.
