GNA has 16 professional groups where ideas and innovations that will impact members and the nation positively are generated. At the global, national, and State levels, each professional group is headed by a Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, and Committee Member. The Executive Director is the default member of all professional groups coordinating activities with the executive to ensure GNA's vision and mission fulfillment.

GNA has a multi-tiered structure:

• Grassroots Chapters (Nigeria): These are the smallest unit of collaboration within the GNA at the local level. Every GNA member (both at home and overseas) belongs to a Grassroots chapter at their local government of origin or local government of residence, depending on individual preference.
• Local Government Coordinators (Nigeria only): Oversee grassroots chapters within local governments if more than one.
• State Coordinators (Nigeria only): Manage activities across the LG coordinators within the state.
• State Chapter (Overseas only): Manages the activities of the State, province, or Region overseas in conjunction with the Chairperson of the Professional Group and the executive members of the State.
• Regional Coordinators (Nigeria only): Manages the activities of State Coordinators within the region. There are six regions in Nigeria
• Country Ambassadors (Overseas only): Coordinate country activities with the Executive Director.
• Global Bodies:
  • Global Board of Trustees (GBoT): Oversees governance.
