African countries have been hit by a dual shock of COVID-19 pandemic and global oil crisis, which have caused severe economic and social disruptions. Most studies shed light on the correlates between COVID-19 and the global oil crisis, including their economic impacts on oil producing/exporting countries. However, the objective of this study is to examine the effects of the global oil crisis on the implementation of World Health Organization’s (WHO) healthcare and public health measures to contain COVID-19 in Nigeria. Empirical data from Nigeria was collected and analysed using content analysis based on WHO’s methodology. There was low level of healthcare preparedness and emergency response capacities to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. Public health measures against COVID-19 such as lockdowns and social distancing policies were poorly implemented at the expense of the people without adequate countercyclical stimulus packages and palliatives.

非洲国家受到 COVID-19 大流行和全球石油危机的双重冲击，造成了严重的经济和社会混乱。大多数研究揭示了 COVID-19 与全球石油危机之间的关联，包括它们对石油生产/出口国的经济影响。但是，本研究的目的是检查全球石油危机对尼日利亚实施世界卫生组织 (WHO) 的医疗保健和公共卫生措施以遏制 COVID-19 的影响。根据世卫组织的方法，使用内容分析收集和分析了来自尼日利亚的经验数据。遏制 COVID-19 大流行的医疗保健准备和应急能力水平较低。
