In April 2020, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), with support from the World Bank, launched 
the COVID-
19 NLPS; a monthly survey of a nationally representative sample of 1,950 households to monitor the 
socioeco- nomic impact of the pandemic and other shocks. The first round (baseline) of the survey 
was conducted in April/ May 2020, during which a federally mandated lockdown was in full effect. 
The government began lifting restrictions in June and by the time the fourth round was conducted 
between August 9-24, 2020, there were minimal re- strictions on movement within the country. This 
brief presents the findings from the fourth round of the Nigeria
COVID-19 National Longitudinal Phone survey (COVID-19 NLPS) conducted in August 2020.
