Understanding Book: WHAT CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETIES ARE NOT

8.1.      To get accurate answer to this idea is to position co-operative side by side with other organization with the same goals, but not with the same structure. For instance:-

1.      Co-operative is not trade unions.

2.      Co-operative are not political party

3.      Co-operatives are not parastatals because these are extra ministerial organizations

4.      It is also very clear that Co-operative are not like Lions Club, S^T. Johns Brigade, or Red Cross among others. Because these are humanitarian or philanthropic organizations

5.      Co-operatives are not private companies or public limited companies who are quoted in the Nigeria stock exchange, as they are profit oriented organizations’.
