Subject to the provisions of the Act and in accordance with rules made by the Council, it became necessary for the Council to prepare and maintain a register with particulars of Architectural Firms eligible to practise in Nigeria.

The use of any other firm or persons is in contravention of the provisions of the ARCON Act. The Council regrets that a number of Architectural Firms have had their names removed from the Register for failure to pay their annual subscription and or their principals. This is in conformity with Sections 5(4)-(e), 7(6) to (7) of Architects (Registration, Etc) Act CAP A19 LFN 2004 and other rules made in that behalf. Architectural Firms are hereby advised to pay their annual dues on or before the 1st of January of any year to enable the Council insert their names in the Register of Architectural Firms. 1 It is, however, imperative to inform the public that only the names and particulars of the Architectural Firms have complied with the conditions set out in Section 5(1) - (d) of the enabling Act are published herein.
