The major attraction of co-operative organization especially in the developing area is – it’s potentials for social change and improvement in the standard of living of people or well being of the populace for example many government has devoted numerous resources for the encouragement and improvement of co-operative societies in rural and urban area to eliminate/ eradicate poverty among the average citizen of the country.
Sometimes, the government involvement is observed to the extent of thrift of co-operators from self-reliance of the organization, instead of depending on government. Consequently, the objective of the movement bring change in the economic development which Oji River Local Government cannot afford to ignore than to become one of them. The members of the movement were benefiting through the provision of the services, the instrument of social change and transformation which will benefit the entire populace.
