The Society membership consist of regular, honorary, associate, corporate and student members. The acceptance of membership is deemed to imply an agreement to be bound by all the regulations of the Society from time to time.

1. Regular members are those who actively engage in research connected with Pharmacology or in teaching Pharmacology and agree in writing to become members. Such persons are eligible for election as Regular members upon nomination by two Regular members, who must be financially up to date in paying their annual dues to the Society. If elected, such persons pay the registration fee and, regularly thereafter, the annual membership fee (10,000 NGN) as decided by the Society occasionally.
2. Honorary members include persons of distinction in science who have contributed to the advancement of Pharmacology. They are eligible for election as honorary members upon nomination by the Executive Committee. Honorary members have the rights of Regular members, excluding voting. We have 2 members in this category.
3. Associate members consist of normally non-pharmacologists who are actively engaged in research connected with pharmacology or in teaching pharmacology and agree in writing to become members. Such persons are eligible for election as associate members upon nomination by the Executive Committee. Associate members have all the rights of regular members except that they shall not be entitled to receive notices of or attend meetings of the Society other than the scientific meetings and do not have the right to vote. When elected, such persons pay the registration fee and, regularly thereafter, the annual membership fee (15,000 NGN) as decided by the Society occasionally.
4. Corporate members include corporate entities that have shown demonstrable interest in advancing pharmacological sciences and/or the results of pharmacological research in Nigeria. Such entities are eligible for election as corporate members upon nomination by the Executive Committee. Corporate members have all the rights of Regular members except that they are not entitled to receive notices of or attend meetings of the Society other than the scientific meetings and shall not have the right to vote. When elected, such entity is expected to pay the registration fee and, regularly thereafter, the annual membership fee (50 000 NGN) as decided by the Society occasionally. At the moment, we have two corporate members.
5. Student members are graduate students currently admitted to higher studies in any area connected with pharmacology and are residents of Nigeria. Such persons shall be eligible for election as student members upon nomination by one regular member who is financially up to date in paying his/her annual dues to the Society. If elected, such persons are not expected to pay the registration and annual membership fees. Student members have all the rights of regular members except that they shall not be entitled to receive notices of or attend meetings of the Society other than the scientific meetings and do not have the right to vote.

New members (regular, associate, and corporate) are given provisional membership upon their election until they have attended two annual conferences of the Society, whereby their membership is confirmed. If at any time the Executive Committee is of the opinion that the interests of the Society require the expulsion of a member, the Executive Committee shall present the matter to the Annual General Meeting. The meeting will afford the member whose expulsion is proposed to defend himself/herself or to be represented by another member nominated by him/her who may speak on his/her behalf. A vote on the Executive Committee’s motion for expulsion shall be taken by ballot. If not less than two-thirds of the votes cast are in favour of the expulsion of the member in question, he/she will thereupon cease to be a member of the Society and will not be entitled to the refund of any fee paid by him/her or any part thereof.
