MICROFINANCE AND INCOME LEVEL IN NIGERIA by Sheriff Akanji IBRAHIM

“…This paper examines the relationship between microfinance banks activities and income level in Nigeria, using per capita income (PCI) as the dependent variable, and microfinance banks activities such as loan and advances (LADV), deposit mobilization (TDEP) and other non-banking financial activities (NBFIN) as independent variables. The research adopted quantitative design and employed regression analysis in analysing the effect of microfinance bank activities on income level in Nigeria between 1995 to 2022. …”
