Background of the Study
Zungeru, located in Niger State, Nigeria, is an LGA that faces a variety of challenges related to local governance, including the efficient collection of taxes. Geopolitical boundaries, both administrative and geographical, have a significant influence on how taxes are collected, managed, and utilized in the region. Niger State's administrative structure and its positioning within the broader geopolitical landscape of Nigeria contribute to both the strengths and weaknesses in local governance, including tax collection. Local political decisions, regional alliances, and resource allocation all intersect in the realm of tax administration. This study seeks to examine how geopolitical boundaries affect tax collection efficiency in Zungeru LGA, with a focus on how political, geographical, and administrative factors either facilitate or hinder effective tax collection.
