Background of the Study
The insurgency in northeastern Nigeria has significantly disrupted local economies, including those in Dikwa LGA, which has experienced the brunt of violent conflicts. Post-insurgency zones often face severe challenges in rebuilding their infrastructure, economy, and public services. One critical challenge is the effective collection of taxes, which is essential for local governance and reconstruction efforts. This study aims to explore the challenges faced in tax collection in Dikwa LGA, post-insurgency, and to identify strategies that could improve tax collection in such fragile regions.
Statement of the Problem
Dikwa LGA, like many other areas affected by insurgency, faces difficulties in resuming normal economic activities and rebuilding public services. Tax collection is one of the main revenue sources for local governments, but insurgency-induced displacement, destruction of infrastructure, and a lack of trust in the authorities pose significant barriers to effective tax collection. This study will examine these challenges and explore ways to overcome them.
