Background of the Study
IT infrastructure is the backbone of modern businesses, providing the necessary technological foundation for operations, data storage, communication, and more (Raj & Sinha, 2024). In developing economies like Nigeria, businesses face numerous challenges in deploying and maintaining efficient IT infrastructure. These challenges include inadequate funding, unreliable power supply, limited technical expertise, and a lack of reliable internet connectivity. This review examines the IT infrastructure deployment challenges faced by businesses in Kogi State, exploring how these obstacles impact their operational efficiency and growth.
