The various categories of memberships are Ordinary, Associates, Students, Fellow, Corporate And Honorary

NSN members serve the public by engaging in useful researches and translating the science of nutrition into practical solutions for healthy living. The Nutrition Society of Nigeria is an affiliation of the International Union Of Nutritional Sciences (IUNS) and maintains a relationship with other nutrition societies in the Africa region through the Federation of Africa Nutrition Societies (FANUS).

It also recognises the importance of exchanging ideas with colleagues outside the region and therefore utilizes every opportunity for contact and networking with other nutrition societies outside the African region

As a non – profit making professional organization, NSN, depends mainly on membership subscription and donations from collaborators including international agencies, corporate bodies and from professional services.
