1.1BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The co-operative, thrift and credit society is now in existence in many institutions of higher learning.  Based on this, one might start to wonder what this research topic is all about since such a programme is not a new programme.
All the same, the truth remain that the existence of co-operative, thrift and credit societies in our higher institution is one side lower than the other.  This is to say that its present existence concern itself with only a particular section of the institution.
Institution of higher learning presently doing this, only operates for the benefit of academic and non academic staff (who are interested in the movement) in these institutions.  Thrift and credit programme for educational institutions with particular references to the students populace.
To this time, student institutions of higher learning have been deprived of enjoying the benefits of being member of co-operative movement as much as there is this need and urgency to inform student with the objective of the co-operative movement.
It is important for the cause of this research project to have a knowledge of the co-operative movement, the world over and in particular, Nigeria.  this is because such knowledge and understanding gained, provides an invaluable background of the history and patterns of the co-operatives in different parts of the world.
In the modern form, however the origin of co-operative thrift and credit societies can be traced to the 19th century and to Germany.
In Germany, many of the farmers very small area of land but by working hard and skilful farming, there was just enough to keep the farming going.
The former got their credit from local merchant who charged high rates from them and paid low prices for the farm produce.  The result was the farmers were most heavily.  Indebted and sank into poverty.
Friendrich Willhelm Raffeissen (1818 – 1888) seeing all the poverty and hardship of farmers, he tried to help, in the light of these, he thought out a plan for a co-operative thrift and credit society in which the good men fund available as loans to co-operative member the property of the borrowed and two guarantors, who had to be members of the society.

All the institution were staffed by civil servants who were ported there from the ministry and could be peposted to other departments or ministries according to the need of the civil servants.
The need to established a higher institution of learning by upgrading the training of our people in technological, mangand and engineering fields arouse in 1970.  this need was ugorously pursued in October, 1971, the Ukpabi Asika’s administration deaded to merge the farmer the amfied control of the cabinet office on 1st April 1972.
