Abstract:This brief evaluation of the cooperative organisational apparatus in Nigeria examines three aspects of a 'cooperative ideology'; the basis of the cooperative idea; the form of economic organisation and the organisational structure. The analysis proceeds in the framework of the 'entrepreneurial approach' and concludes that such an ideology must reflect among other things, the economically inaltruistic and individualistic nature of human behaviour that is found in Nigerian traditional communities.
