Background of the Study
Order fulfillment is the process of receiving, processing, and delivering customer orders in a timely and efficient manner. In the context of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), order fulfillment extends beyond the traditional retail environment to include the execution of trades, the settlement of transactions, and the efficient handling of securities orders. The NSE plays a crucial role in the Nigerian financial market, facilitating the trading of equities, bonds, and other financial instruments. Efficient order fulfillment ensures that transactions are executed seamlessly, meeting regulatory standards and customer expectations (Okoro & Nwachukwu, 2023).
The NSE's operations in Borno State require efficient order fulfillment processes to manage the volume of trades, settlement of financial instruments, and communication with investors. Given the increasing number of investors and the rise of digital platforms for trading, the need for efficient and transparent order fulfillment processes is even more critical (Ogundele & Adesina, 2024). These processes involve not only the technical aspects of executing trades but also ensuring that all regulatory and compliance requirements are met promptly.
This study aims to evaluate the order fulfillment processes in the Nigerian Stock Exchange, focusing on the Borno State branch. It will analyze the effectiveness of these processes in facilitating smooth transactions, minimizing delays, and enhancing the overall investor experience.
Statement of the Problem
The Nigerian Stock Exchange, like many financial institutions, faces challenges related to the efficiency of its order fulfillment processes. In Borno State, delays in order execution, errors in trade settlements, and the lack of technological integration in some parts of the process contribute to inefficiencies in fulfilling orders. This study seeks to evaluate the current order fulfillment processes at the NSE and determine how these processes can be improved to enhance operational performance and customer satisfaction.
