The distributive nature of cooperative provided that they must be owned, used and controlled by their members.  In view of this, cooperatives are organized and managed through the  system of large or small, multipurpose or single purpose and  central or federal. All these systems put together are under direct coordination and supervision of the cooperative federation.

Yahaya, (2001) notes the cooperative federation is an organization where there are basic units at each level that  determine on their own initiative. The relationship between the federation which  is a higher organ and  the secondary societies which are lower organs is  that there is a dividing  line where the lower organs reserve to themselves certain functions and delegate others to the higher organs. Though the cooperative federation controls  the activities of cooperative to ensure efficiency, it has by the affiliated societies since such affiliated societies do not surrender their autonomy to the cooperative federation.                          Â

In Nigeria where the cooperative development is generally a state affairs, cooperatives are organized on three structures based on geographical locations namely village or town level (primary cooperatives) state or regional level (secondary cooperative), national level (tertiary cooperatives).
