Background of the Study
Information technology (IT) investments have become a critical driver of business performance, particularly in the telecom industry, where rapid technological advancements and intense competition define the landscape. Effective IT investment can enhance service delivery, improve customer satisfaction, and foster innovation. According to Okon and Ibanga (2024), telecom companies that strategically invest in IT infrastructure tend to outperform their peers in terms of market share and profitability.
In Plateau State, telecom companies are increasingly focusing on IT investments to address challenges such as network expansion, customer service improvement, and regulatory compliance. However, the relationship between IT investment and business performance remains underexplored in this context, highlighting the need for empirical studies to evaluate the effectiveness of such investments (Adamu & Yakubu, 2025).
Statement of the Problem
Despite significant IT investments, many telecom companies in Plateau State struggle to translate these investments into measurable business performance improvements. Factors such as poor implementation strategies, inadequate training, and misalignment between IT initiatives and organizational goals often limit the effectiveness of IT investments.
