Who we are

Not just an association — a whole vibe.

NANTA is the home base for Nigerians living across the Northern Territory — Darwin, Palmerston and beyond. We're run by members, for members, no red tape, just people showing up for each other.

New in town? We'll have your welcome sorted within the week. Been here twenty years? There's still an owambe with your name on it.

  • Welfare support, real and fast
  • Cultural events that actually slap
  • A voice at the table with CoNAPA nationally
