Nwabuike, who is the senior registrar in charge of cooperative at the Rivers State Ministry of Commerce and Industry, said cooperative was a platform for women to pool resources together for profitable business purposes.
He said it was easier for women that are involved in cooperative movement to access fund for business as interest rates are relatively low.
The expert also urged the women to explore the numerous benefits in cooperatives by forming more cooperatives and abiding by the stipulated rules of cooperative development.
According to the expert, some of the benefits of cooperatives movements include, easy access to fund, mutual business concern, equality and fairness in the distribution of available resources, country development and economic growth.
