The aim here is to highlight correlational dialogue of scholarly endeavours as a catalyst in the process of peace and development in post covid-19 Nigeria. Coronavirus pandemic of the year 2020 (also known as covid-19) had a devastating effect on the world at large, Africa and Nigeria in particular.
