CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
TO THE STUDY
Cooperative societies are a unit of
business organization. In recent times, the importances of cooperatives have
come into focus in West Africa countries. Cooperatives society origin is traced
to the Rochadale Pioneers of 1844. It is believed that cooperative societies
were in cooperative before 1844, but is the Rockdale Pioneers of 1844 who
popularized the modern day cooperatives movement. The Rockdale consisted of 28
members who were mostly wavers. Their sole aim of farming cooperative was to
raise their standard of living during this time (1844) people were experiencing
economic hardship. This was mostly pronounced among the law income earners. The
Rockdale pioneers started by contributing or subscribing a few pence a wee,
they managed to obtained 28 with which they vented a store in Toad Lane,
Rockdale. They started tracing with small stocks of fairs out meal and candles.
Profits were distributed to members in the proportion of their purchases. The
Rockdale cooperative was a consumer cooperative society. In Nigeria, the
formation of age group societies for team work and group financial assistance
among members in respect of farm work, road construction, house erection and
social festivities marked the beginning of cooperative society’s movement. The
idea of cooperative societies was first conceived in 1934 and in February 1936.
The legislative council passed the cooperative bill before the movement was
officially launched in the country, in the beginning of cooperative societies
in Nigeria; the running of registration was at the regional levels. The word
“Cooperative” could be used in two different ways;
a. Working together or “ready to help”.
b. An organized kind of business
organization.
Cooperative
is an old as mankind, for each other. Thus, this is particularly important in
all rural areas of the world. The herding of all livestock’s is often carried
out in turns by the herdsmen. The gathering in and the thrashing of each
farmers harvest area often carried out by all neighbors joining together to
help one another iun a manner, which though voluntary, is morally compulsory by
tradition I certain countries,. This same method is used for skinning well,
building irrigation reservoirs and ditches putting up houses and even burying
the dead. Also cooperative is known as a type of business organization. Its
introduction to industrial and business lives in West Africa generally and the
rural areas of Nigeria in particular, are however new. Cooperative in his
modern world is varied and it covers the work in all its business entities. The
importance of cooperative societies in Nigeria cannot be over emphasized. The
cooperative development in any place must be conditionally by its economic
pattern Nigeria has an agricultural economy and cooperative was first developed
in Nigeria.
At present, many types of
cooperative societies are existing in Nigeria. They are as follows./
agricultural products marketing societies, consumers, cooperative thrift and
loan societies, cooperative craftsman’s societies and multi-purpose cooperative
societies. Some of these societies exist in Oredo Local Government Area of Edo
State. Cooperative society played a vital role by establishing a cooperative
school where auditors and inspectors are being retained to audit and inspectors
the activities of various cooperative societies to avoid fraud,
misappropriation and mal-administration. In conclusion, even though cooperative
society has not and cannot cover all facets of economic activities, it has
covered the salient parts of the activities of the common man, particularly the
area under which they have been suffering.
