Chapter One — 1.1 Background to the Study

In recent years, Sentiment Analysis Techniques has emerged as a critical factor shaping customer churn prediction accuracy across organizations operating in and around Ogun State. As institutions grapple with the pressures of globalization, regulatory reform, and shifting stakeholder expectations, understanding how sentiment analysis techniques relates to customer churn prediction accuracy has become an important area of both scholarly and practical concern.

Ogun State presents a useful setting for examining this relationship precisely because the conditions there — structural, regulatory, and behavioural — differ from those typically assumed in the broader literature, most of which draws on evidence from more developed economies.
