Background of the Study
Order fulfillment speed is a key determinant of customer satisfaction and retention in the telecommunications sector. In an increasingly competitive market, companies like Airtel Nigeria must ensure that their customers receive services and products in a timely manner to build loyalty and retain their customer base (Mishra & Bansal, 2024). Airtel Nigeria, operating in Kaduna State, faces the challenge of managing a large and diverse customer base, which requires efficient order fulfillment processes to ensure timely delivery of mobile services, devices, and other customer orders.
In the telecommunications industry, customers expect quick and accurate order fulfillment, whether for activating new services, resolving issues, or receiving hardware. A delay in fulfilling customer orders, whether due to logistical inefficiencies, technical failures, or service provider issues, can lead to dissatisfaction and the loss of customers. As such, Airtel Nigeria’s ability to meet customer expectations for fast and reliable order fulfillment is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge.
This study aims to examine the relationship between order fulfillment speed and customer retention at Airtel Nigeria in Kaduna State. The research will assess how quickly Airtel fulfills customer orders and how this affects customer loyalty and retention.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the importance of order fulfillment speed in customer retention, Airtel Nigeria has faced challenges related to meeting customer expectations for timely service delivery, particularly in regions like Kaduna State. Delays in service delivery, technical issues, or logistical challenges can negatively affect customer satisfaction, leading to reduced retention rates. This issue is compounded by the growing competition in the Nigerian telecommunications market, where customers have a wide range of choices.
The problem lies in the lack of clear empirical data on how order fulfillment speed directly influences customer retention at Airtel Nigeria. This research aims to address this gap and determine the role of order fulfillment in customer loyalty within the telecommunications sector.
Objectives of the Study
1. To examine the relationship between order fulfillment speed and customer retention at Airtel Nigeria, Kaduna State.

Research Hypotheses

2. There is no significant relationship between order fulfillment efficiency and customer satisfaction at Airtel Nigeria.
3. Improving order fulfillment speed does not significantly enhance customer loyalty and retention at Airtel Nigeria.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on Airtel Nigeria’s operations in Kaduna State, specifically examining the role of order fulfillment speed in customer retention. Data will be collected from customer surveys, service personnel, and order processing records. Limitations include potential biases in customer feedback and difficulty in accessing detailed operational data from Airtel Nigeria.
