About the chapter

A professional home for Nigeria’s ICT community.

The Nigeria Computer Society is the umbrella organization for information technology professionals, interest groups, and stakeholders in Nigeria. Established in 1978 as the Computer Association of Nigeria and transformed into NCS in 2002, the Society advances information technology science and practice across the country.

The Abuja Chapter connects that national mission with professionals, public institutions, businesses, academia, and innovators in the Federal Capital Territory.
