of university undergraduates in Kwara State in Nigeria. Findings of the study
showed that: undergraduates had transportation problem with the highest level
of source of stress 59.1% high views; there was a positive significant
relationship between relaxation management strategies and academic
performance of undergraduates, (r=.905, p<0.05); there was a positive
significant relationship between lifestyle management strategies and academic
performance of undergraduates, (r=.239, p<0.05) and there was a positive
