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 come to mind based on the above assertion is, “do cooperative societies make any contribution to business in any given settlement.
