Building Nigeria's Underground Future
The Nigerian Tunnelling Association is dedicated to the promotion and advancement of underground space utilization in Nigeria.
From Vision to Reality
The Nigerian Tunnelling Association was conceived by an engineering student on a state scholarship in the United Kingdom, motivated by a profound observation: the lack of awareness and knowledge about tunnelling and underground-space use in Nigeria.
Our main objective remains the promotion and advancement of the effective use of the underground space in Nigeria through knowledge and experience-based advocacy.
Today, NTA connects Nigerian professionals with international tunnelling communities, providing access to global expertise and best practices in underground construction.
