Why It Matters
Why CPN membership matters in practice
Professional recognition within a regulated national framework
Improved credibility and trust in service delivery
Alignment with ethical and professional standards
Access to professional development and industry engagement
Practising IT without CPN registration is considered illegal under Nigerian law. The public site should therefore make both membership guidance and public verification easy to access.
