The INEC Osun Cooperative Investment & Credit Society (CICS) was established in 1992 following the creation of Osun State from the former Oyo State. Several officers have successfully steered the society’s affairs despite challenges, particularly the 2004 interstate staff transfers by the Commission. Most senior members—who held substantial loans and formed the society’s capital base—were relocated out of Osun State. Without internet banking and with poor remittances from these members, the society struggled to meet its primary objectives, diminishing its status as a primus inter pares (first among equals) cooperative in the Southwest.
Dedicated leaders navigated this crisis, steering the society through turbulent times. Within a short period, it regained strength, positively impacting members’ lives. The INEC Osun State management deserves applause for their consistent support since 1992, especially from 2005 to date, in providing an enabling environment.

Building financial strength, promoting cooperative values, and improving the lives of our members—today and for the future.
