Chapter One — 1.1 Background to the Study

Big Data Analytics Adoption has increasingly attracted the attention of researchers, regulators, and practitioners concerned with customer churn prediction accuracy. This growing interest reflects the recognition that big data analytics adoption does not operate in isolation, but interacts with a wider set of institutional and market conditions found within Kogi State.

Within the context of Kogi State, this relationship carries particular significance. Organizations in this setting operate under a distinct combination of economic, regulatory, and market conditions that may amplify or dampen the effect of big data analytics adoption on customer churn prediction accuracy, making a context-specific inquiry both timely and necessary.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

While big data analytics adoption is widely discussed in policy and industry circles, empirical evidence on its actual effect on customer churn prediction accuracy within Kogi State remains sparse and, in places, contradictory. This lack of localized, rigorous evidence makes it difficult for decision-makers to know with confidence whether current approaches to big data analytics adoption are helping or hindering customer churn prediction accuracy — a gap this study sets out to close.

1.3 Objectives of the Study

1. To examine the effect of Big Data Analytics Adoption on customer churn prediction accuracy in Kogi State.
2. To assess the extent to which big data analytics adoption influences customer churn prediction accuracy within the study area.
3. To identify the challenges associated with big data analytics adoption in relation to customer churn prediction accuracy.
4. To recommend strategies for optimizing big data analytics adoption in order to improve customer churn prediction accuracy.

1.4 Research Questions

1. What is the effect of big data analytics adoption on customer churn prediction accuracy in Kogi State?
