Background of the Study

The Nigerian insurance industry, like many others globally, is increasingly turning to business analytics to gain a competitive edge. Business analytics, encompassing data mining, predictive analytics, and business intelligence, helps insurers assess risks, improve customer experiences, and optimize operations (Osifo & Shittu, 2024). The adoption of these technologies allows insurance companies to make better-informed decisions, reduce fraud, and enhance operational efficiency. However, despite the promising benefits, the adoption of business analytics in the Nigerian insurance industry has been slow, particularly in rural areas like Zamfara State.

Zamfara State’s insurance firms face unique challenges, including a lack of digital infrastructure, low levels of data literacy, and resistance to change. This review explores the adoption of business analytics in insurance firms in Zamfara State, examining the barriers to adoption, the benefits of implementation, and strategies for overcoming these challenges. The findings could guide other firms in similar regions to make more informed decisions regarding the use of business analytics.

Statement of the Problem

While there is growing awareness of the benefits of business analytics in the Nigerian insurance sector, the level of adoption remains low, especially in Zamfara State. Insurance firms in the region face challenges such as limited access to skilled personnel, inadequate infrastructure, and a lack of data-driven culture. This review seeks to evaluate the extent to which business analytics is being adopted in Zamfara State’s insurance firms and to identify the key factors influencing its adoption.

Objectives of the Study

  1. To review the extent of business analytics adoption in insurance firms in Zamfara State.

  2. To examine the challenges faced by insurance firms in Zamfara State in adopting business analytics.

  3. To propose strategies for enhancing the adoption of business analytics in insurance firms in Zamfara State.

Research Questions

  1. To what extent have insurance firms in Zamfara State adopted business analytics?

  2. What challenges do insurance firms in Zamfara State face in adopting business analytics?

  3. What strategies can be implemented to enhance the adoption of business analytics in insurance firms in Zamfara State?

Research Hypotheses

  1. Business analytics adoption has no significant impact on operational efficiency in insurance firms in Zamfara State.

  2. Challenges such as lack of infrastructure and skilled personnel do not significantly hinder the adoption of business analytics in insurance firms in Zamfara State.

  3. Strategies for enhancing adoption have no significant effect on improving the use of business analytics in insurance firms in Zamfara State.

Scope and Limitations of the Study

This review focuses on insurance firms in Zamfara State that have either adopted or are in the process of adopting business analytics. The scope is limited to the insurance sector, excluding other sectors of the Nigerian economy. Limitations include potential biases in self-reporting by firms and difficulties in obtaining detailed data on internal operations.
