CHAPTER ONE
- INTRODUCTION
Definition of cooperative societies are voluntary from business organizations in which individuals in a particular trade come together to foster/develop a smooth relationship aimed or protecting the interest of their members.
Ogujifor (2001) defined cooperative society as an association of persons or group of individuals who voluntarily joined together through business organization to achieve their common capital sharing in the risk and benefits and member participate actively or democratically.
Cooperative association and movement in the world has been seen as a continued or situational event or activity and an invention of necessity. It was born out of the local and economic condition and situation in Europe. The industrial revolution in Europe in the late eighteenth and all through the nineteenth century culminated in the formation of cooperative movement.
The rise and expansion of the modern cooperatives movement has its roots in the far reaching economic, social and political changes which took place in Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth century especially the industrial revolution and the liberation of the peasantry from the former feudalistic system.
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
In every area of human endeavour, there are policies, rules and regulations that wide them. Also in every sector of the economy, both government and private business, there exist government policies that serves as a guiding principles or tools for regulations of the government against the performance of the operations of such sector. For example e.g NIPOST, agriculture, health, housing, transportation and services etc.
However, a good government will seek the welfare of its citizens; this explains newly such policies are argued/ ordained.
A good government policy is the government policy that has achieved a level of good or better like for its citizenry. Rural industrialization is synonymous. With development. Industrial development usually starts with simple processing of agricultural commodities by hand later by well fashioned and highly sophisticated equipment. These days, industrial manufacturing is a sophisticated mechanized process carried out in small firms or in huge plants and factories.
- STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS
These are some problems, which hampered rural industrialization in Nigeria such as:
- high taxation in the operators and such business/ sector
- low level technology: cooperative development in its infancy, machines are foreign technology.
- High social responsibility demands/law by the government and host commodities.
- Poor infrastructural development: In cooperative society in Umuneochi has not developed significance to encourage rapid industrialization by infrastructures, we mean education health facilities, roads, electricity, telecommunication and postal services etc.
- Inadequate capital: The amount of capital required per workers in rural industry is high and this is one of the main reasons why the take off into itself- sustained growth is such difficult operations as a result of cooperative development in Umunneochi still depend much on foreign investment for large industrial establishment.
- OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
- How the government formulate policies that will help achieve industrialization on cooperative development in rural areas.
- The study will find out how the government policies have impacted on cooperative development through rural industrialization.
- The study will also find out how the federal government (FG) through the federal department of cooperative improves the formation of agricultural cooperative and policies throughout the country.
- How the services of rural industries improve industrialization through cooperative development.
