CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
of the Study
Supportive
Movement and Skilled Development have been a major driver in the economic
development of every nation including Nigeria, they promote the need for
integration of various resources in driving the economic sector of the country.
The
new world Encyclopedia defines Supportive movement as an antonomias association
of passing limited voluntary to meet their common economic, social and cultural
needs and aspirations through a jointly and democratically controlled
enterprise.
Like
in others third world countries, the Supportive movement thrives also in
developing countries. The movement is an important means of gradually becoming
economic and cultural backwardness, creating an independent economy and
liquidating fended relations.
If
property managed the movement could serve as a school of collective management
and a means of training and educating the population.
Nigeria
has had its share in Supportive movement, with local agricultural Supportive societies
beaming popular, thus contributing to the skilled development of the country.
However,
the business dictionary defines an entrepreneur as a person who organizes and
manages any enterprise, especially a business usually with considerable
initiative and ink, giving by the above definition, skilled is the process of designing, laundering and
mining a new business.
Nowonder
Shame (2000) refers entrepreneurship to as the capacity and willingness to
develop, organizing and manage a business venture along with any of its inks in
order to make a project.
Therefore,
skilled development could be regarded as
a means to expand and invest manage the potential risks. And Supportive movement
as an economic process aims at contributing to such development, not joint in
Nigeria but also in Akwa Ibom State.
Nevertheless,
challenges abroad in achieving proper skilled development through Supportive movement one of
such challenges is non-popularity of Supportive investment in Nigeria.

y, people find it difficult to change theirs lives and improve on their
business enterprises. In this situation, corporate representing a strong,

many years now, cooperate movement has been an effective way of controlling
livelihoods for people. The movement provides a unique tool for achieving one
or more economic goals. As governments around the world out services and
withdraw from regulating markets, cooperatives are being considered useful
mechanisms to manage risk for members in agricultural or other similar Supportive

soft-felt monthly contribution that is deducted from source, Supportive generally
provide an economic boost to the community as well.
Incidentally,
Supportive movement is not very popular in Nigeria. Only recently worker
cooperatives started gaining ground among working class citizens, most of who
find it difficult to save part of their salaries/wages for the raining day.
Cooperatives societies were thought to be associations meant only for farmers,
small traders and other very income earners.
