Abstract :
COVID-19 has provided a significant
challenge to a variety of societal institutions, including
health, education, food, and economic institutions, all
across the world. It has impacted both developed and
developing countries. Prior to COVID-19, many
countries, particularly those in the Third World, such as
Nigeria, were suffering from hunger and food insecurity.
The study looks on how the virus affects food security in
Ekiti State, south-west Nigeria. The information was
gathered through the use of a questionnaire in a
descriptive study methodology. The study discovered
that the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic include: a
lack of money to buy food, a rise in food costs, and panic
buying. The majority of the respondents were unable to
receive any sort of assistance, and the study suggests that
the government and other relevant bodies devise a
comprehensive intervention to help disadvantaged
households.
