Background of the Study
The Nigerian banking sector plays a pivotal role in the country's economy, and ensuring the security and efficiency of banking systems is critical. With the rise of digital banking, fintech innovations, and the increasing frequency of cyberattacks, Nigerian banks face growing challenges in safeguarding sensitive financial data, maintaining operational efficiency, and providing secure digital banking services. Traditional computing models, though effective, may struggle to keep up with the increasingly complex demands of modern banking systems, especially when it comes to processing large volumes of data, performing real-time fraud detection, and securing online transactions.
Quantum computing, with its ability to process vast amounts of data simultaneously, offers promising solutions to these challenges. By utilizing quantum algorithms for encryption, fraud detection, and optimization of banking processes, Nigerian banks could significantly enhance their security infrastructure and operational efficiency. This study aims to investigate the feasibility of integrating quantum computing into Nigerian banking systems, focusing on the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in Abuja as a case study.
Statement of the Problem
The Nigerian banking sector is faced with the growing need for advanced technologies to address challenges related to cybersecurity, fraud detection, data processing, and transaction optimization. While traditional computing systems have served the banking industry well, the limitations of these systems are becoming more apparent in the face of emerging threats and increasingly complex operational demands. Quantum computing presents an opportunity to revolutionize banking operations, but its feasibility and practical applications within the Nigerian banking context remain unclear. This study seeks to investigate the potential of quantum computing to address these issues in Nigerian banking systems, particularly at the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Objectives of the Study
To investigate the feasibility of integrating quantum computing into Nigerian banking systems.
To evaluate the potential applications of quantum computing for enhancing cybersecurity, fraud detection, and transaction processing at the Central Bank of Nigeria.
To assess the challenges and opportunities for implementing quantum computing in the Nigerian banking sector.
Research Questions
What are the potential applications of quantum computing in Nigerian banking systems?
How can quantum computing improve cybersecurity and fraud detection in Nigerian banks?
What are the challenges and barriers to adopting quantum computing in the Nigerian banking sector?
Significance of the Study
This study is significant as it explores the potential of quantum computing to revolutionize the Nigerian banking sector, enhancing security, operational efficiency, and fraud detection capabilities. The findings could provide valuable insights into the feasibility of adopting quantum technologies within Nigerian banks, contributing to the modernization of the banking infrastructure and the safeguarding of financial transactions in an increasingly digital economy.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on the feasibility of integrating quantum computing into Nigerian banking systems, with a case study of the Central Bank of Nigeria in Abuja. Limitations include the availability of quantum computing resources and the challenges of implementing quantum technologies within the existing banking infrastructure.
