Chapter One: Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

The transition to cashless transactions has become a key focus in many developing economies, including Nigeria, as part of efforts to modernize financial systems and improve economic efficiency. Advertising plays a significant role in influencing consumer behavior and shaping attitudes toward new technologies, including cashless payment methods. In Bichi LGA, Kano State, where a significant portion of the population still relies on traditional cash-based transactions, advertising campaigns have been employed to promote the adoption of cashless systems. According to research by Olatunji et al. (2024), advertising can bridge the knowledge gap and reduce resistance to adopting cashless payment methods by emphasizing their benefits, security, and ease of use. This study explores how advertising influences the adoption of cashless transactions in Bichi LGA, with a focus on the strategies employed and the effectiveness of these campaigns in encouraging the local population to embrace digital payment systems.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

Despite the efforts to promote cashless transactions in Nigeria, there is still a significant portion of the population in rural areas, including Bichi LGA, that remains hesitant to adopt digital payment methods. This resistance is often due to factors such as lack of awareness, trust issues, and limited access to technology. While advertising has been used as a tool to address these challenges, the effectiveness of these campaigns in changing consumer behavior in Bichi LGA remains underexplored. This study seeks to assess the influence of advertising on the adoption of cashless transactions in the region and determine the factors that contribute to or hinder the acceptance of cashless systems.
