An outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first reported from Wuhan, China in December 2019. The rapid spread of COVID-19 principally through respiratory droplets and fomites transitioned into a global pandemic in waves of outbreaks across regions. 1 The projected colossal impact of the pandemic on economies particu-larly in low to middle income countries (LMIC), 2 have prompted pertinent questions about Africa's preparedness. 3 This report highlights early responses of a Nigerian institution to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Unilorin community comprises over 4500 workers and 56 600 students across 15 faculties, one College of Health Sciences, and a School of Preliminary Studies. Following the first reported case of COVID-19 in Lagos, Nigeria, a COVID-19 Prevention Committee (herein referred to as The Committee ) was setup by the University management to safeguard the University community. Within 3 weeks of the COVID-19 outbreak in Nigeria, the committee successfully implemented a string of containment measures before the first confirmed case was reported in Ilorin, Kwara State. The sweeping impact of COVID-19 on healthcare facilities across climes, emphasizes the importance of early preparation of healthcare facilities. 4 The Unilorin health services was setup to meet the health needs of students and staff of the University community within a clinic facility that operates in collaboration with the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, where cases that require specialist's attention are referred.
