The Dominican Institute of Philosophy and Theology is an academic body controlled and administered by the Dominican Province of Nigeria, which is legally incorporated as the Order of Preachers, Nigeria. The Province is governed by a Prior Provincial and his Council, outside the time of the quadrennial Provincial Chapter, which makes its statutes. The Province is also governed by the Constitutions of the Order of Friars Preachers and comes under the jurisdiction of the Master of the Order, outside the time of the triennial international Chapter.

Although the Dominican Institute of Philosophy and Theology is located in the Dominican Community (Priory of St. Thomas Aquinas), Ibadan, and is therefore hosted by the priory, the Institute has its separate Governing Board and statutes.
