Registration for the Nigerian Institute of Town Planners’ 2020 National Conference and Annual General Meeting is now open

Dear esteemed members,

The registration for the 51st NITP National Conference and Annual General Meeting is now open and we are happy to inform you all that this year, alongside the traditional payment system, we are launching an online payment option for the conference. This is part of our commitment to adopting modern technologies to provide quality service to our members. Also, with COVID-19 still lingering, we are determined to make sure our members are safe and avoid being exposed through walking into banking halls to make payment.

In essence, you have two (2) options in paying for the NITP National Conference and Annual General Meeting registration this year.

1. Payment via nitpng.org

2. Payment via deposit at the banking hall

To ensure members can seamlessly complete their registration through any of the options above, we have written this guide. Please note that you will need an active email address to successfully complete any of the payment options. This shouldn’t be an issue as you can use your already existing email address or sign up for one be it Gmail or Yahoo, the choice is entirely yours. You are also required to write the email address correctly to avoid a bounce back of messages.
