CHAPTER
ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1
Background
of the Study
Leadership
is as old as human being, there is no human endeavour that does not require
proper leadership (management) for it to function effectively. For example,
government establishment, business enterprises, mosque, church, hospital and
cooperative societies all requirement leadership to promote and make them
function properly.
Therefore,
leadership is one of that human instrument that regulate all organization effectively,
they set up goals for any organization to achieve effectively in other words,
they perform the managerial functions of planning, controlling, directing,
coordinating and organizing.
The
role of leadership participation in promoting cooperative is found as a
research problem which aimed at identifying the importance of leadership
participation in cooperative society so as to satisfy the members economic needs
and the degree of productivity to be obtained from.
Cooperative
movement however came into existence when these mutual obligations of
traditionalist in the society were phrased out of their formal organization of
business out fit.
This
condition led to the birth of the modern cooperatives, as a result of
industrial revolution in August 1844. These efforts were made by some
industrialist with the same common interest. But in the case of our country
Nigeria, it was slightly different because it was a reflection of it by
colonial maters that we had Nigerians have greatly seen the need for
cooperative movement, because an average Nigerian is faced with economic
problems which is even worst that that which was experienced in Europe during the
industrial revolution.
The
word cooperative is distinctive, which must be made between formal and informal
cooperative. In the widest sense cooperative means people working together so
as to achieve their goals. But the most widely formal definition of cooperative
is the one put down by I.C.A – 1995. Cooperative is an autonomous association
of persons united voluntarily to meet their economic, social and cultural
needs, and aspiration through a jointly owned and democratically controlled
enterprise (I.C.A. 1995).
1.2
Statement
of the Problem
The
role of leadership participation in promoting cooperative society cannot be
over emphasized, thus leadership plays a very important role in promoting
cooperative society.
Leadership
is a basic requirement needed for the success of any cooperative movement.
Therefore,
any cooperative society that does not consider the above one is found to have
slow promotion or no development at all and will eventually lead to all sort of
problems.
From
the past decades, cooperative societies in Nigeria are referred to as part time
business organization, the management committee are elected without following
the laid down procedure for cooperative movement for charity organization, this
make them less committed to the smooth running of the society.
