Background of the Study
IT disaster recovery planning (DRP) is integral to ensuring organizational resilience in the face of unexpected disruptions. Effective DRPs minimize downtime, protect critical data, and ensure business continuity, particularly for financial institutions where data integrity and availability are paramount (Olatunji & Ibrahim, 2023).
In Niger State, financial institutions face challenges such as cyberattacks, system failures, and natural disasters, underscoring the importance of robust disaster recovery planning. This study examines the effectiveness of IT DRP in building organizational resilience within financial institutions.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the critical role of IT DRP, many financial institutions in Niger State experience prolonged disruptions due to inadequate or poorly implemented plans. Issues such as insufficient resources, lack of expertise, and inadequate testing limit the effectiveness of DRPs. This study evaluates the current state of IT DRP and its contribution to organizational resilience.
Objectives of the Study
- To assess the effectiveness of IT DRP in enhancing organizational resilience in financial institutions in Niger State.
- To identify challenges in the implementation of IT DRP.
- To recommend strategies for improving IT DRP to enhance resilience.
Research Questions
- How effective is IT DRP in enhancing organizational resilience in financial institutions in Niger State?
- What challenges do financial institutions face in implementing IT DRP?
- What strategies can improve IT DRP and enhance resilience?
Research Hypotheses
- IT DRP does not significantly enhance organizational resilience in financial institutions in Niger State.
- Challenges in IT DRP implementation do not significantly reduce its effectiveness.
- Strategies for improving IT DRP do not significantly enhance its effectiveness.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study focuses on financial institutions in Niger State with active IT DRPs between 2023 and 2025. Limitations include variability in DRP implementation levels and difficulty accessing sensitive data.
