Studies have emphasized the implications of the lack of adequate handwashing facilities for the campaign against COVID-19 in many communities. However, peoples’ awareness and perceptions of the handwashing protocol have received little or no scholarly attention. This study examined the awareness, perceptions and challenges of hand hygiene in three informal urban settlements in Nigeria: Mararaba, Makoko, and Waterfront. Data wereobtained from 30 participants from these settlements. Using a deductive analytical approach, the study found that the level of awareness and compliance with the handwashing protocol is very low. The few participants who occasionally wash their hands do so with dirty water. Findings also showed that there is gross inadequacy of handwashing facilities in the studied communities. Implications of findings for COVID-19 governance and policies are discussed.

“…Hence, the federal government needs to restructure the country in a manner that will allow some degree of resource control rights to enable minority groups who are already disadvantaged, to develop at an appreciable pace. For instance, for over 50 years of crude oil and gas exploration in the Niger-Delta (which is a classic minority case), which has provided estimated earnings of over USD400 billion and USD600 billion (Amnesty International, 2009), there is no discernible positive impact on the development of host communities in the region (Aaron, 2015;Nche, 2020;Nche et al, 2019). This is despite the unbearable environmental damage, described by Amnesty International (2009) as "a human rights tragedy" which the residents are faced with on daily basis.…”

Agitations for political restructuring have come from virtually all age groups, socio-ethnic and political configurations in Nigeria. However, little or nothing is known about the ethnic and religious differences in the entire agitations especially among the youths. This study examined ethnic and religious differences in the knowledge and support for political restructuring among the youths in Nigeria. Participants were 575 youths (372 males, 180 females, M = 25.62, SD = 5.51) drawn from Nigeria's six geopolitical zones. Data were collected using questionnaires assessing knowledge and support for political restructuring. One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the data. Results showed that youths from minority ethnic groups reported higher knowledge and support for political restructuring. For the various religious groups, Muslims have more knowledge and support for political restructuring. Relying on the issue-specific motivator model, the study highlighted the implications of these findings for research and policy.
