REDUCING RURAL UNEMPLOYMENT THROUGH CO-OPERATIVE MOVEMENT (A CASE STUDY OF AGBANI COMMUNITY)

ABSTRACT

This study was conducted to examine the role of cooperative Societies in reducing unemployment in Nigeria. In this course, research objectives, investigation and hypothesis were formulated.  Both primary and secondary data were collected, and data were then presented in a tabular form. Based on the above,   the findings on the topic are as follows: Staff/employee of the sampled cooperative are averagely paid with some necessary allowances. Government should set up more cooperative banks to give loans to individuals and groups that are prospecting to establish cooperative. In conclusion the researcher deemed it necessary that every hand must do everything possible to encourage the establishment of cooperative enterprises, since it is now obvious that the only option left for us is to adopt the socio- economic model of mutual self help.
