Registrations must be from organizations with a real presence in Nigeria and with a demonstrable intent to use the domain name on a regular basis on the Internet. I.e brand, vanity, placemark, trademark, service mark. Name registration is not appropriate. I.e., one registration per organization.



Applications must specify an Administrative contact who works within the organization that will be using the domain name. The administrative contact is responsible for appointing or removing the technical contact.



Every person (Handle) listed in your application must be a real person that is reachable by telephone between 0900hrs and 1700hrs (GMT+1). The person must also be able to read and reply to emails within a reasonable period of time. Role function is allowed, but must ultimately have a person at the other end. For example, CEO is a role, but someone must answer as CEO.
