About Nacos
The Nigerian Association of Computer Science Students (NACOSS) is the umbrella body for all students studying Computer Science and other computer and Information Technology (IT) related courses in Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education (Federal, State and Private) with over 145 local chapters in all the six (6) geo-political zones of the country.
Furthermore, NACOSS is the student arm of the Nigerian Computer Society (NCS) which is the umbrella body of all IT professionals, interest groups and stakeholders in Nigeria. The NCS also has the Information Technology Association of Nigeria (ITAN), the Institute of Software Practitioners of Nigeria (ISPON), Internet Services Providers Association of Nigeria (ISPAN) and the Software Developers' Group (SDG) as chartered groups and the Nigeria Information Technology Practitioners in the Civil Service, the Nigeria Information Technology Corporate Members Group and the Nigeria Information Technology Academic Group are other smaller groups of the NCS.
BRIEF HISTORY
The formation of the National body started in 1990 when nine higher institutions of learning in western Nigeria came together to form the western zone of the association. Shortly after this development, other zones followed this model and in 1993 cohesive efforts led to the first National Convention which brought into existence the National body of the association. The association has since grown into a large conglomeration of the Nations IT students.
