ABSTRACT

This study focuses on credit mobilization challenges of credit cooperative societies in Enugu state and its implications for rural development (a case study of selected credit cooperative societies in Enugu North Local Government Area of Enugu State). One hundred and fourteen (114) members of the cooperative societies purposely drawn were sampled for the study. Data were collected mainly through questionnaire while description statistics, frequency percentages were applied in the analysis. The result showed that the credit needs of the societies are not met. The challenges among which are: the poverty state of members, low membership size and insignificant internally generated funds, hindered credit mobilization. Also, much credit could not be mobilized through externally uniformed about raising funds through foreign assistance. Suggestion were made on improving the credit mobilization drive to increase the membership size of the societies, sourcing of information and participation in foreign assisted programmes, reduction on interest of loan able funds as well as reliance on group guarantee by commercial bank. Equally, government was advised to channel their agricultural and poverty alleviation funds through cooperative societies. These findings were found to have implication for agricultural growth and hence rural development.
