NIS ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

Though the Association/Unit took off in 2009, that is 35/37 years after the conception/establishment of the Institute in 1972 and 1974 respectively; it is important to note that the Institute was upgraded into full functionality in 1992 through its Decree (Decree 31 of 1992) and since then it has undergone phases of transformation and innovation towards attaining acceptable world standard, of which, the establishment of an Alumni Unit/Association is one.
