    In response to the threat occasioned by the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic,the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, came up with regulations and directives, derogating or restricting some human rights provisions already entrenched in the countries 1999 Constitution(as amended), such as; right to the dignity of the human person, in section 34, right to Personal liberty in section 35, right to freedom of association in section 40, right to freedom of movement in section 41 and right to private and family life, as found in section 37. Even though the same Constitution allows some restrictions and derogation from fundamental rights in Section 45 (1)-(3) it is the intention of this paper to identify the discriminatory application of the restrictive measures introduced at various levels to curb the spread of Covid-19. In achieving this intention, the paper also examines the Infectious Disease Control Act, 2021. KEY WORDS: Human Rights, Covid-19 Pandemic, derogation, restrictions, policies
