The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced a significant partnership with telecommunications company IHS Towers to establish learning communities across the country as part of the 3 Million Technical Talent (3MTT) program. The program aims to develop technical talent and create digital job opportunities in alignment with the government’s Renewed Hope agenda.
Dr. Bosun Tijani, the Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, unveiled the N1 billion partnership with IHS Towers. This partnership not only provides financial support but also includes a commitment to cover the salaries of 37 dedicated learning community managers for each location over the next three years.
The 3MTT program is a crucial component of the government’s efforts to generate a pipeline of technical talent, in line with the vision of President Bola Tinubu to create two million digital jobs by 2025. Under the program, individuals who express interest in acquiring specific technical skills will have their training expenses covered by the ministry.
