CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The choice of this topic, the role of the federal Government is co-operative financing can not be over liked at the present Economic situation of the country.
This is because of the fact that the issue of co-operative financing has reached all the likes and corners of Nigeria. The past and present regime emphasized on the best way of encouraging co-operation development through this does not mean that is needed for co-operative developments have been achieved. Rural and co-operative development has been strategies and plans in under way to articulate and executer of well to help improve the living standard of the rural population.
Development and economic growth is essential determine by the standard of living of both the rural and urban dwellers. We can not take of development and growth of Nigeria economy, neglecting the development of our rural one the experience and successes achieved by Israel, china, Tanzania and our spirits, interest enthusiasm and determination towards the development of our co-operative base. A well planned rural development is the answer to rural poverty ignorance superstition and congestion in city centers. A well articulated and planned rural condition to natural integrates co-operative development and economic growth. This will also create awareness and increase the economic standard of the rural population. And it eliminates such plagues as ignorance, poverty, poor standard of living and general backwardness associated with under development.
This issue of infrastructure development which pertinent to co-operative development will include out rural dwellers as long as the rural area are not developed. And one imagines what life electricity, pipe borne water, good road, networks, education facilities, viewing centers and other.
As this juncture, I wish to make it clear here that the Nigeria agricultural co-operative rural development bank (NACRDB) which I am studying renders both advisory and financial assistance to any farmer or group of farmers.
What (NACRDB) does includes
- identify the interested farmers
- Help them prepare feasibility study
- Know their problems
- Grant them loans (financial assistance)
- Advise farmers on the best project to embank on
In the introduction, I wish to mention that the NACRDB imo branch office has embarked on many programs to educate the farmer within and outside Imo on the best way to promote co-operative development.
