1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The advent of
cooperative societies in all parts of the economy has created unmeasured
effects on the lives and activities of rural and urban dwellers alike. By
way of understanding, a cooperative society may be seen as an association of
the individuals of limited means who voluntarily join together to achieve a
common economic end through the formation of a democratically controlled
business organisation, making equitable contributions to the capital required
and accepting a fair share of this risk and benefits of undertaking by which
members activity participate
Cooperative society is
further regarded as a form of organisation wherein persons voluntary associate
as human beings on the basis of equality for the promotion of economic interest
of themselves. Business activities, interwoven with business operations accord
the business owners the opportunity to build up capital to finance their
business via gradual and regular savings of money.
Cooperative societies
also come to existence that the business owners achieve the right results from
their various imputes. A business is seen as an organisation formed to produce
and supply goods or services to satisfy the needs of people in order to gain
profit. Here cooperative societies provide ready markets for such products. By
so doing, such business owners are encouraged to produce good quality products
and those enhance increase in the national gross domestic product and income.
Worthy of note is the
fact that business activities in various communities, societies and urban areas
are the pivot of cooperative societies because its role or major objective is
to see that business organisation record huge success on regular basis.
The question that does

any contribution to business in any given settlement.

It will result in diffusion of effort, gradual over-expansion of field covered
and aimlessness.
