antibiotic resistance in Nigeria is rising due to improper antibiotic use, easy access to prescription drugs without medical guidance, and incomplete treatment courses. These practices allow bacteria to evolve and reduce the effectiveness of commonly used medicines. Limited diagnostic facilities, poor infection control in healthcare settings, and lack of public awareness further worsen the situation. As resistance increases, infections become harder to treat, leading to longer illness duration, higher medical costs, and increased risk of complications. Addressing antibiotic resistance in Nigeria requires stronger regulation, improved healthcare practices, and consistent public education on responsible antibiotic use.
