The Institute of Business Psychology (IBP), founded in 2013, is a premier professional body dedicated to advancing the science, practice, and impact of business psychology across Nigeria and the African continent. We exist to bridge the gap between human behaviour and business success by promoting evidence-based psychological practices in leadership, management, and organisational development.
IBP is duly registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and formally recognised by both the Federal Ministry of Education (Federal Ministry of Education Ref: FME/TED/A&E/ANPB/XXXVII/282) and the Federal Ministry of Justice. Our statutory status is further reinforced by our Charter-ship Bill (HB 2277) status in the National Assembly, positioning IBP as the emerging regulatory authority for the profession of business psychology in Nigeria.
Our Core Mandates:
- Registration and professional grading of members
- Certification and credentialing of business psychology practitioners
- Regulation, ethics, and discipline within the profession
- Capacity building, workshops, and Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
- Advancement of behavioural science in business, public policy, and workplace practice
Since our establishment, we have built a growing network of professionals, including psychologists, HR leaders, business consultants, coaches, and organisational development experts. Together, we are driving excellence in human capital development and transforming the way businesses think about people, performance, and potential.
IBP is where psychology meets business, and careers are elevated through credibility, competence, and community.
