Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic introduced unprecedented disruptions globally, reshaping personal and social lifestyle patterns across various societies. In Nigeria, the pandemic highlighted significant health, economic, and social vulnerabilities, resulting in lasting changes to daily routines, social behaviours, and health practices. This study explores the post-pandemic lifestyle adaptations among Nigerians, focusing on shifts in social interactions, healthcare-seeking behaviour, work habits, and consumption practices. Utilizing a mixedmethods approach, this study gathered quantitative data through surveys and qualitative insights via in-depth interviews to provide a nuanced understanding of the Nigerian experience post-COVID-19. Findings reveal increased health consciousness, a shift towards remote work in certain sectors, changes in social gatherings, and a growing reliance on digital platforms for various activities. These transformations suggest a lasting impact of the pandemic on Nigerian society and highlight areas for policy intervention to support emerging needs.
