Background of the Study
The rise of digital financial systems, such as e-wallets, has transformed consumer behavior across Nigeria, offering convenient, secure, and accessible ways to conduct financial transactions. In Chibok LGA, Borno State, the adoption of e-wallet systems has the potential to improve financial inclusion, reduce cash dependency, and promote local economic growth.
