ABSTRACT = {A mathematical model consisting of a system of four nonlinear ordinary 
differential equations is constructed. Our aim is to study the dynamics of the spread of 
COVID-19 in Nigeria and to show the effectiveness of awareness and the need for relevant 
authorities to engage themselves more in enlightening people on the significance of the 
available control measures in mitigating the spread of the disease. Two equilibrium 
solutions; Disease free equilibrium and Endemic equilibrium solutions were calculated and 
their global stability analysis was carried out. Basic reproduction ratio (},
