Background of the Study
Warehouse management efficiency plays a critical role in supply chain performance, particularly in the telecommunications industry, where rapid delivery of spare parts, network equipment, and customer service materials is essential for maintaining service continuity and customer satisfaction (Adebayo & Olokundun, 2023). MTN Nigeria, a leading telecommunications provider, operates extensive warehouses in various regions, including Kebbi State, to manage inventory and ensure timely delivery of goods to retail outlets, service centers, and network sites.
Efficient warehouse management is vital to minimizing operational costs, optimizing inventory levels, and ensuring that products and materials are available when needed. This can be achieved through the use of modern inventory systems, proper space utilization, and automated technology to track goods and improve the accuracy of stock records (Hassan et al., 2024). However, warehouse management also faces challenges such as human error, storage space limitations, and logistical constraints, all of which can impede efficiency.
This study examines the efficiency of warehouse management practices at MTN Nigeria, Kebbi State, and evaluates how these practices influence overall supply chain performance, cost management, and customer service delivery.
Statement of the Problem
Despite MTN Nigeria’s substantial investment in warehouse facilities, the company in Kebbi State has experienced occasional inefficiencies, including delays in inventory updates, mismanagement of stock, and operational disruptions due to improper warehouse organization (Nwachukwu et al., 2023). These inefficiencies contribute to increased operational costs and delays in service delivery, impacting customer satisfaction and brand loyalty. Therefore, an evaluation of the warehouse management practices at MTN Nigeria is necessary to identify areas for improvement and recommend strategies to enhance operational efficiency.

2. There is no significant relationship between warehouse management efficiency and cost control at MTN Nigeria.
3. Strategies for improving warehouse management do not significantly enhance operational efficiency at MTN Nigeria.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study will focus on warehouse management efficiency at MTN Nigeria in Kebbi State, specifically assessing inventory tracking, storage practices, and logistical coordination. Data will be collected through surveys and interviews with warehouse staff, logistics managers, and MTN Nigeria’s supply chain team. Limitations include potential difficulties in obtaining detailed inventory data and resistance from staff in sharing operational insights.
