The Nigerian Institute of Architects (NIA) is a professional body for architects primarily in Nigeria.

The idea for the formation of an independent professional architect’s organization in Nigeria was first conceived and motivated by three architects. In 1958, an 8 member study group was formed to carry out detailed planning for the establishment of the Institute which ultimately culminated in inauguration of the Institute.
