The lack of clear rules and efficient management characterized the administration of many cooperatives, thereby making their efforts less productive. This study examined the influence of management committees on the performance of cooperatives in tertiary institutions in Kaduna state, Nigeria. Survey design was adopted and a sample size of 312 was generated out of 1,412 population of the study. Questionnaire was the major instrument used in data collection. Data were presented and discussed using descriptive statistics, frequencies and percentages; while the hypothesis was tested using Regression Analysis at a 5% level. The outcome of the study suggested that the socio-economic characteristic of committee members is critical to cooperative performance. In conclusion, therefore, the anticipated relations and path-like effects of identified variables influence performance suggest opportunities to address issues that could retard cooperative performance. The study recommended among others that cooperatives should ensure that persons to be elected into committee membership should be driven, not by ambition or authority, but by the desire to be in service to the management committee, the cooperative, and the community.
