Background of the Study
Cost control is a vital aspect of financial management that enables organizations to optimize resource utilization and enhance profitability. In the highly competitive Nigerian telecommunications industry, cost control measures are crucial for maintaining service quality while managing operational expenses (Eze & Nwachukwu, 2024).
Airtel Nigeria, a major telecommunications provider, employs various cost control strategies, including budget monitoring, process automation, and supplier management. These measures aim to reduce overhead costs and improve financial performance. However, the dynamic nature of the telecommunications industry presents challenges in sustaining cost efficiency. This study evaluates the impact of cost control measures on Airtel Nigeria's operations and profitability.
Statement of the Problem
Despite implementing cost control measures, Nigerian telecommunications companies, including Airtel Nigeria, face rising operational costs due to factors such as inflation, exchange rate volatility, and infrastructure maintenance. Ineffective cost management can undermine profitability and service delivery (Ogunleye & Adeyemi, 2023).
This study examines the effectiveness of Airtel Nigeria’s cost control measures, identifying challenges and recommending strategies for improvement.
