The Nigerian Institute of Management is a professional body and a non-profit institution for professional managers in Nigeria. In 1961, managers at top levels in the government, commerce, and industry convened a general meeting to discuss forming a management institution in the country. The meeting led to the formation of the Nigerian Management Group. In 1964, the name was later changed to Nigerian Institute of Management. In that same 1964, the institute was also incorporated under the Nigerian Companies Act, Cap. 37 as a non-profit institution.
The purpose of the Nigeria Institute of Management is to promote professionalism in management. The institution defines the standards and required skills for professional managers in Nigeria.

The Nigerian Institute of Management Establishment Act 2003 was passed on the 19th of June 2003 at the National Assembly.
