ABOUT NINCID

Nigeria joined the ICID family in 1970 and since then, has formed its Nigerian National Committee on Irrigation and Drainage (NINCID). NINCID has risen to become one of the most active members of ICID, supporting and collaborating in its activities. From the organization of the 4^th Afro-Asian Regional Conference of ICID which was held at Lagos, Nigeria, in 1982, to the International Seminar on “Performance of Large- and Small-Scale Irrigation Schemes in Africa” held at Abuja in November 1999, NINCID has continued to actively participate in ICID activities and has also been elected in to several important ICID elective posts, such as Chairmen and/or Secretaries of ICID Working Groups, to the position of ICID Vice Presidency.

The Mission of NINCID is to act as a national chapter of ICID in Nigeria and together, work towards sustainable irrigation and drainage management through inter-disciplinary approaches and environmentally and sound agricultural and flood management practices.  Additional details on NINCID are available here.
