Northern Nigeria is currently facing a twin crisis of both COVID-19 and insecurity. They have made it difficult for the people to follow government containment efforts to control the pandemic and also have impacted on the socioeconomic and health aspects of the society. We have discussed on the impact of insecurity amid COVID-19 in Northern Nigeria. It is opined that if the insecurity in Northern Nigeria is not tackled, it will expose the region to more escalation of cases and deaths. Thus, it is recommended that proactive steps should be implemented by all stakeholders concerned to tackle insecurity, particularly the government to revive the security architecture, provide an environment for training and retraining of all security personnel and enhancing intelligence gathering to pave the way for resolving this issue.
尼日利亚北部目前正面临新冠疫情和不安全局势这双重危机。这使得民众难以遵循政府的防控措施来控制疫情，同时也对社会的社会经济和健康方面产生了影响。我们已经讨论了尼日利亚北部新冠疫情期间不安全局势的影响。有人认为，如果尼日利亚北部的不安全局势得不到解决，该地区将面临更多病例和死亡人数的激增。因此，建议所有相关利益攸关方采取积极措施来解决不安全问题，特别是政府要重振安全架构，为所有安全人员的培训和再培训提供环境，并加强情报收集，为解决这一问题铺平道路。
