Pioneering Underground Space Development in Nigeria
The Nigerian Tunnelling Association (NTA) was conceived by an engineering student on a state scholarship in the United Kingdom, driven by the lack of awareness about tunnelling and underground-space use in Nigeria.
Today, we stand as a leading voice for underground infrastructure development in Nigeria, connecting professionals with global expertise and best practices.
