Other research demonstrates significant income growth differences. However, flood consequences in north central Nigeria have been little documented. Using the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) to assess and plan for certain natural and man-made disasters. Comparative correlations were created using descriptive statistics, frequency tables, and percentages. The study concluded that High rainfall levels in Lokoja, Kogi State, affect farms, crop output, livestock, and food availability. We therefore, concluded that, there is high impacts of exposure to floods on the growth of gross state domestic product (GSDP) and human development index (HDI) in Nigeria cannot be over emphasized as such we recommended that the government should help the flood victims.

Nigeria's anti-corruption campaign was initiated by the government of Nigeria and is still predominantly being led by the government. Notwithstanding the renewed anti-corruption efforts since 2015 as well as the existence of a National Anti-corruption Strategy (NACS) since 2017, implementation of the campaign especially by the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) has not been seen as successful. This study was exploratory and primary data were collected through Key Informants Interviews (KIIs) interviews conducted on 15 persons that were selected from the ICPC Headquarters in Abuja using purposive samples. Also, secondary data were obtained through online sources that were analysed and presented using descriptive method. The research findings revealed several issues in the implementation of Nigeria's anti-corruption campaigns, including selective prosecution and political interference in the anti-corruption fight; seemingly lack of transparency and inadequate political will to fight corruption on the part of government; lack of trust in the judiciary as offenders are still able to evade justice because of the weakness and corruption in the criminal justice system; poor management of the recovered loots such that there is presently no visible positive impact of the corruption war on the masses in respect of their welfare and even their daily experiences, among others. Based on these issues and challenges, the study concluded that if the suggested recommendations are implemented, Nigeria's anti-corruption campaigns could be more robust and successful, especially, when it involves commitment of more stakeholders and the common people who would voluntarily but actively participate and support it.
