This is to showcase the contribution and impact of cooperative to the socio-economic well-being of the participants among other reasons (Oluyombo, 2012). The financial sector reform that led to the establishment of microfinance banks is expected to have effect on cooperative development in Nigeria.

The result of the Analysis of Variance on the differences in the impact of cooperative societies as a microfinance delivery channel across the six states of Nigeria revealed the F- calculated value of 2.32 whose probability close to zero percent suggest that there is a difference in the impact of cooperative society as a microfinance delivery channel across the state in Nigeria. The multiple comparison of the differences showed that the mean difference is significant at 0.5% between Lagos, Ekiti and Ondo State., also with Ekiti and Lagos and Oyo State. The same thing with Ondo,Lagos and Oyo State. Oyo has significant difference in the impact compared to Ekiti, Ondo and Osun State so also was the impact in Osun State significantly different to that of Oyo State.
