The paper found that subsidy removal effect (effects (class attendance, course materials and stress level) significantly influence students' academic achivement (F (3,146) = 33.983; R = .641, R2 = .411, Adjusted R2 = .399, p< 0.05), explaining 41.1% of the variance. In light of these result, government and university management should expand financial aid programmes and provide information about scholarship opportunities to support students financially as well as collaborate with local businesses to create part-time job opportunities on or near the campus, enabling students to earn income to cover their living and educational expenses

The research examined the impact of microfinance intervention, specifically business and farming loans, on the quality of life of beneficiaries of the Lift Above Poverty Alleviation Programme in Ibadan Metropolis. Utilising a descriptive survey research design, the study included all programme beneficiaries, with a sample size of 200 individuals randomly chosen from four branches of the LAPO bank, including Sango, UI, Ojoo, and Iyana Church. Data collection was done using a 30-item questionnaire measuring the Poverty Alleviation Programmes of Lift Above Poverty Organisation’(PAPLAPOS) Scale (r=.84), which consisted of two subs-scales: Business Loan Scale (r=.83) and Farming Loan Scale (r=.85). The data collected were analysis through the descriptive statistics involving frequency counts, simple percentages, multiple regression, as well as mean and standard deviation. The results of the research indicated that the impact of the microfinance intervention (specifically Business and Farming loans) on the quality of life of the beneficiaries was statistically significant (F (2,148) = 111.425; R2 = .568), explaining 64.3% of the variance.
