Detailing
as an architect who study in UK,can i practice in NIGERIA?
Hello Dapson,
Every country has their own rules and regulations. If you are an Architect from UK, then you would probably be required to give some exams in Nigeria in order to qualify as an Architectural designer in that particular country. You cannot practice in a country if you do not have an Architect’s license to practice in that country.
