History of NIQS
The Nigeria Institute of Quantity Surveyors was founded in 1969 by a group of Nigerians who trained, qualified and practiced in the United Kingdom but who upon returning to Nigeria sense the urgent need to develop the profession of quantity surveying in Nigeria by establishing a parallel body to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors of United Kingdom, the body that performs the same role in the United Kingdom.
Though, the Institute was formally registered under the Land Perpetual Succession Act in 1970; it has within the 37 years of its existence grown from strength to strength. Membership strength as of now is over 8,000 made up of Fellows, Corporate Members, Probationers, Technicians and Students. At the moment, chapters of the Institute formally exist in fourteen (14) states of the federation. In 1986, the federal government recognized the Institute through the Quantity Surveyors Registration, etc Decree No. 31 of December. 1986.
