Speaking at a high-profile press briefing on November 12, 2026, the NCS President, Prof. Muhammad Sirajo Aliyu, revealed that the prestigious event is slated to hold on December 1, 2026, at the MUSON Centre, Onikan, Lagos.
The President emphasized the society's unwavering commitment to advancing a knowledge-based Nigerian economy.
"NCS remains the foremost and number one IT professional association in Nigeria and Africa’s largest IT Society," Prof. Aliyu stated. Highlighting the society's immense growth, he noted that NCS now boasts over 35,000 members spanning across all sectors of the economy. "The National Executive Council (NEC) under my leadership is determined to be strategic, innovative, and forward-looking in the running of the affairs of our great society," he added.
NITMA serves as NCS’s flagship national platform to annually recognize, celebrate, and reward outstanding excellence and contributions by individuals, state governments, and institutions driving IT development in Nigeria and the Diaspora. The distinguished categories slated for recognition at the December 1 ceremony include the IT Personality of the Year, Digital Governor of the Year honoring leaders making enormous IT investments, IT Gold Medal Award, Youth Innovation Award, IT Company of the Year, Tech Mentor of the Year, Cybersecurity Advocate of the Year, and special Recognition Awards.
Addressing the integrity of the selection process, Prof. Aliyu assured stakeholders that the society maintains strict objectivity.
He disclosed that nominations received by the screening committee undergo a fully IT-driven selection process powered by public online opinion polls, while the Planning Committee's role is strictly limited to collating polls, ranking scores, and announcing category winners.
In addition to competitive category awards, NITMA 2026, he said, will feature the conferment of the society's most prestigious Professional Fellowship on deserving members recognized as industry authorities, alongside Honorary Fellowships for individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary service and commitment to IT growth in Nigeria.
The NCS leadership wrapped up the briefing by extending profound gratitude to its corporate partners, members, state chapters, and the media, issuing a passionate call for maximum publicity to ensure the landmark event's resounding success.
Prof. Aliyu was flanked by key members of the National Executive Council including the Deputy President, Dr. Charles C. Onyeukwu; Executive Secretary, Mr. 'Segun Job Adekunle; Chairman of the Publicity, Events and Trades Services Committee, Mrs. Shulammite A.
