Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance has been important for informing pandemic responses but many regions remain under-sampled, limiting knowledge of circulating strains. Here, the authors sequence 378 isolates from Nigeria and identify two strains that appear to be important locally though globally uncommon.
