Abstract

Research on the Pandemic is worth carrying due to the risk and ongoing risk; the COVID-19virus, which was first detected at the end of 2019, has caused countries across to Globe to either shut down entirely or partially, therefore, unprecedently affected people?s daily life and has also intensified my worry on how Nigerians will survive due to its implication. In recognizing the dilemma associated, the Global financial institutes, Governments, and private individuals of different countries provided palliative materials. The study was aimed to determine what aspect of one?s life was affected the most and how was the palliative material provided by the Government distributed in Awka, Anambra State. The study adopted a quantitative means of data collection among a sample of 120participants. Random sampling techniques were used to select the respondents. Data obtained were conceptually analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science(SPSS). A key result from the finding reveals that finance was the aspect affected mostly, and that government palliative was not effectively distributed as some were being hoarded and hijacked. It is also recommended in face of any pandemics that the vulnerable, the poor and the informal workers should be considered first because they are usually the ones affected first.
