CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background of Study
Agricultural credit in Nigeria dates back to the 1930s but organized credit to farmers did not start until 1972 when the Nigeria Agricultural and Cooperative Bank (NACB) was established.
The awareness of the serious decline in agricultural production was probably partly responsible for the establishment of the bank.
The NACB is not the only financial institution which provides agricultural credit. Prior to the establishment of NACB, agricultural credit scheme was operated by some agencies such as the Ministry of Agriculture's Supervised Credit Scheme, Agricultural Credit Cooperative, cooperative thrift and loan scheme, farmer's multi-purpose cooperative societies. Most of these institutions were not effective sources for strictly agricultural credit. There was a lot of evidence that creditors borrowed money for agriculture but diverted it to other ventures.
Again, credit was often extended to only favouries and scarcely to genuine small —scale farmers. Besides they could not meet the collateral and equity contribution requirement, a situation that compelled a significant proportion of the farmers to seek for other sources of credit.
According to Dachaba quoted from Cardoso, (1987) a survey carried out should that 58% of farming related borrowing was from family and friends, 24% from private money lenders, 15% from merchants and only 3% from financial institutional sources. However, while family and friends charged little or no interest. Organized credit facilities for Nigeria's rural farming population would reduce the dependence on sources other than the formal financial houses.
It is against this background that the researcher is to investigate how credit will be effectively administered in cooperative enterprises. This will enable us to identify the major problem associated with credit administration and seek for solution to these problems to ensure continued existence of the cooperative.
1.2 Statement of Problem
Cooperative society mobilizes credit to their members through the savings of members. It has been observed that they are inefficient in mobilizing and utilization of credit. Many problem lead to this ineffective mobilization of credit. They are as follows:
a) Inadequate fund for loan purpose
b) Inefficient management of loan
c) Faulty loan policy which may sometimes emphasize on credit worthiness of borrowers and not viability of project.
d) Credit operations are mere money activities without proper organization procedure and planed systematic arrangement.
e) Absence of regular monitoring and supervision of loans.
The above problems need to be solved for effective performance of cooperatives.
1.3 Objective of Study
The situation of cooperative is nothing to write home about, if cooperative should continue at this rate, they will wind up.
In view of the above, solution have to be designed for these problems:
a) Therefore, the objective of the study is to find out the various societies existing in the area under review.
b) To find out various problems being encountered by these cooperative which led to hindrance of their effective and efficient performance as agents of credit.
c) Finally, to make recommendation and suggest probable solution that will enable these societies overcome these problems.
1.4 Significance of the Study
This study will assist the loan committee managers in their decision making as a concern credit policy and management to credit in form of proper assessment of loan application. Proper supervision of credit, and evaluation of project proposals, it will help the management to see the need to employ professional staff and lastly this study or findings will be of educational importance to the various universities, polytechnic and students of cooperative department in the various schools.
1.5 Research Hypothesis

1.6 Scope of Study
The researcher will limit this study to effective administration of credit in cooperative enterprise in Enugu North Local Government Area. The researcher intends to find out the available source of fund to cooperative as well as the financial problem of cooperative. The researcher will also find out the process of credit administration and some factors militating against credit administration.
1.7 Limitations of the Study
In the course of accomplishing this study, the researcher were faced with the following problems.
Finance:
Due to financial constraint as a result of the present economic conditions of the students in the country, the researcher was able to select those registered cooperative societies, simple random sampling is uses and types of societies used in this study included farmers multipurpose cooperatives society, consumer cooperatives and others; which were decentralized in Enugu state; these and more constitute a large sum of money both for transport and for stationeries.
Time:
The time given for the study was rather too short coupled with short semester period and the researcher being a full time or regular student had to read and take lectures in other courses during the period of this study. Moreover, a research of this type requires total concentration and effort to enable the researcher come up with a comprehensive result.
Lack of Data:
Due to finance and time constraints, the researcher limited his literature review to what was taught in the class and what was obtainable is some journals and textbooks, likewise seminar papers concerning cooperatives in Enugu State and other parts of the country.
Transportation:
The inadequate transport system in Enugu state as a result of that, the transportation fare is high, which made it extremely difficult for the researcher to visit all the cooperative societies in Enugu State.

Credit:
Credit is financing directly or indirectly, the expenditure of other against future, repayment, such landing or financing is direct when say, a bank extends an overdraft facility to a customer who then uses it. It is indirect when a trader or producer supplies goods on credit (David, W. Pearil).
