About Us
The Nigerian Institute of Architects (NIA)- Edo State Chapter, is one of the state chapters of the Nigerian Institute of Architects (N.I.A). The chapter was established as the Midwestern State Chapter on the 20th day of December 1965. However, a formal application was made in February 1975, by the pioneers of the chapter to the national Council of the Nigerian Institute of Architects (N. I. A) seeking recognition as a chapter of the institute.
In 1985, the name was changed to Bendel State Chapter and with the creation of Edo and Delta states out of Bendel State, the name was again reviewed to Edo State Chapter.
The Nigerian Institute of Architects (N.I.A) was founded on the 1st of April 1960 as an association of independent professional architects with the aims and objectives of fostering friendship amongst members, cater for their welfare and establish mutual support and cooperation amongst them.
The idea for the formation of an independent professional architect's organization in Nigeria was first conceived and motivated by three Nigerian architects while still pursuing their training in England in the early fifties.
In 1958, an 8 member study group was formed to carry out the detailed planning for the establishment of the Institute which ultimately culminated in the inauguration of the Institute.
From a modest 13 members at inauguration, the Institute has experienced a phenomenal growth in Its membership, activities, stature and influence both at national and international levels. Total membership today stands at about 12,000 in 5 classes of membership including Fellows, Full members, Associates, Graduates, Students. Members spread across 31 Chapters and the Federal Capital Territory.
Governmental and non-governmental organization, universities, polytechnics, technical Institutions and other institutions of learning, professional institutions and other bodies in promoting the dynamic role of the architect in the society and in advancing the aims and objective of the Institute. The Nigerian Institute of Architects is a member of the international Union of Architects (UIA), a founding member of both the Commonwealth Association of Architects (CAA) and the Africo Union of Architects (AUA).
