Hello @SadeeqB - thank you for your submission for a new chapter. Your current role sounds very interesting, and your interest in Terraform, Ansible, and Kubernetes are relevant to the CNCF, and the major cloud vendors you mentioned.

Please note a chapter already exists in Abuja: https://community.cncf.io/cloud-native-abuja/
We recommend first becoming a member and attend future meetups. This is a great way to meet the current organizers and express interest in co-organizing with them.
