Widespread flooding has occurred across several states in Nigeria due to persistent rainfall, highlighting the country's vulnerability to seasonal disasters. As the peak rainy season approaches, fears of further flooding are mounting, particularly in regions from the South-West to the South-South, according to reports from various journalists.

According to The Conversation Africa, climate-related disasters in sub-Saharan Africa are increasingly affecting public perceptions of taxation. Events such as floods, droughts, and storms are not only environmental issues but also impact livelihoods, inequality, and the relationship between citizens and their governments. Effective taxation relies on citizens' trust in the state's capability and fairness, especially during crises, as governments depend on tax revenues to fund essential services and climate adaptation efforts.
