The Chartered Institute of Administration (CIA) is a Nigerian professional body established in 1987 that regulates training and practice of Administration in the public and private sectors.

The CIA was chartered by Act No 103, No. 76 Vol. 79 of 31 December 1992.{{cite web |url=http://lawsofnigeria.placng.org/view2.php?sn=63 |title=CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF ADMINISTRATION ACT|work=PLAC|accessdate=2013-06-29|date=30 December 1992}}

In December 2012 the CIA invested its seventh president, Dr. Goddy Idaminabo (now the immediate past president), at the institute's 23rd induction ceremony, which was held in Lagos. Three fellows were inducted, nine full members and 122 associate members.{{cite journal |url=http://allafrica.com/stories/201212100310.html|journal=ThisDay

In May 2013, Idaminabo criticized the Central Bank of Nigeria for a "policy somersault" when they introduced polymer bank notes, then soon afterwards announced plans to withdraw them.{{cite journal |journal=Leadership (Nigeria) |url=http://leadership.ng/organization/chartered-institute-administration. |title=Chartered Institute of Administration Stakeholders Advise CBN On Polymer Naira Notes Review |date=6 May 2013 |accessdate=2013-06-29 }}{{dead link|date=August 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}

In June 2013, Idaminabo announced that the CIA was planning to act as host to the Pan African All Administrators conference. In an interview with The Guardian (Nigeria), he stressed the importance of properly trained and qualified administrators, asserting that this would even help reduce corruption.{{cite journal |journal=The Guardian |url=http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=124960:how-cia-can-minimize-corruption-by-idaminabo-&catid=80:education&Itemid=610
