The Nigerian Institute of Translators and Interpreters (NITI)
TO ALL NITI MEMBERS Situation Report One week to the conference
Preparations are done and the conference is ready to hold.
The conference will take place in the conference hall of Presken Hotel, the same place we had the 17th NITI Conference in 2019. It is a two-day conference and the NITI Associate Members, who passed Parts 1 and 2 of the NITI Membership Exams in 2020 and 2021, will be inducted as Full members of NITI on the first day.
The hotel Managing Director has given us good concessions. Despite the astronomical increases in all prices in Nigeria, we begged and he agreed to give us, basically, the same prices as in 2019.
Accommodation: Of course, every participant will pay for his/her own room. The hotel has rooms ranging from 20,000 to 100,000 per night, but he has agreed to give us the cheapest room for 15,000 Naira, and two willing members can share a room, making it even cheaper. This does not take away the right from anybody who has the means to take the highest room in the place. Please register and let us know if you need a room so that we can make a reservation for you, or click here to make the reservation yourself. You will see a phone number and email address.
Conference Hall: The conference hall is ready and decorated. Public address system is available, as well as a projector, which he is giving us free of charge. NITI will try to make this conference hybrid, so that people outside of the hall can join virtually, but we will not guarantee that process, because hybrid facilities are very expensive and its reliability is 50/50. Please register so that we may know how many people will attend and, therefore, how many chairs to place in the hall. Thank you.
Feeding: NITI will provide tea break and lunch for the two days. Please register so that we may know how many people will attend and, therefore, how many mouths to feed. Thank you.
Resource Papers: NITI has given plenty of time for any intending resource persons to send in abstract and full paper, so that we can make copies and get things ready for every presentation, but we have not got full compliance yet. Please send in any pending papers now because once the conference starts, it might not be possible to go looking for photocopies and printing our papers.
We appeal once more to all members, please pay your annual dues to help NITI defray all costs. Corporate Members: =N=50,000 Fellows: =N=25,000 Full Members: =N=10,000
