Join a structured, six-tier ecosystem connecting your organisation to Nigeria's largest digital talent programme — and to 1.87 million+ fellows, employers, innovators and institutions shaping the country's digital economy.
Nigeria has the youngest population of any major economy. President Tinubu has set a $1 trillion economy target by 2030 — and achieving it depends on building a globally competitive digital workforce. This is not a future problem.
Of Nigeria's 240 million+ population is under 30, with 3.5 million young people entering the labour market every single year.
The estimated annual cost of the digital skills gap — a present-day crisis, not a distant risk, undermining business, government and growth.
Global forecasts project 170 million new technology jobs by 2030. Nigeria is strategically positioned to capture a major share — if the ecosystem is ready.
“With 92% of employment still informal and traditional sectors needing digital transformation, the opportunity is not just about jobs — it is about building the productive capacity of an entire economy.”
Play Your Part →After three cohorts, 3MTT has proven that large-scale digital skills delivery is possible in Nigeria. The programme is now entering its most ambitious phase — and the Partner Network is how we scale beyond what any one organisation can do alone.
Across 3 cohorts, all 36 states and FCT — with over 60,000 psychometrically validated assessments at a 99.6% completion rate.
Registered fellows and growing — representing the demand signal for an ecosystem that must now scale to meet it.
Training organisations, Applied Learning Clusters and enabling infrastructure partners operating across Nigeria's 774 LGAs.
Nationwide reach — fellows present in every Local Government Area in Nigeria. No programme of this type has achieved this before.
A 5-year EU-3MTT Scale-Up Partnership locking in international credibility and co-funding for the programme's next phase.
Allocated for delivery this year — demonstrating federal commitment and giving partners a stable, government-backed platform to build on.
Every organisation that participates in Nigeria's digital economy has a place in the 3MTT Partner Network. Select the tier that matches your capabilities — or participate in more than one.
Nigeria's most ambitious organisations didn't wait. Here's what partnership looks like in practice.
One of the first private sector partners to make a major financial commitment to the programme. Funding scaled training delivery, community engagement, and job placement — reaching 25,000+ beneficiaries and demonstrating the viability of telco-programme partnerships at national scale.
Committed ₦1 billion to scale physical Learning Communities across multiple states, fund state-level community managers, and support training delivery through IHS Academy expertise — including co-hosting regional hackathons at IHS-powered innovation hubs.
Nigeria's most comprehensive partnership commitment to date — including training delivery, data access, and device distribution enabling 90,000+ fellows across 197 Applied Learning Clusters, with connectivity and data bundles for fellows in underserved regions.
Delivered advanced AI and Data Science training to thousands of fellows via the DeepTech Ready initiative, with structured mentorship paired to industry professionals and AI-based job placements through Loubby AI and WES Online — extending beyond training into placement.
Funded and supported AI and Data Science upskilling for 20,000 Nigerian youth, helping design curriculum aligned to global standards — demonstrating the strategic partner model: a global technology company deploying resources at national scale.
“Organisations that join now shape the standards, secure the best talent pipelines, and earn founding partner recognition.”
Become a Partner →Organisations that join now will shape the architecture, not just participate in it. The window to be a founding partner in Nigeria's national digital talent infrastructure is open — and won't remain so.
160,000+ fellows trained across 3 cohorts, all 36 states, 10,000+ delivery partners. The supply side is established — this is not a pilot. Joining now means building on proof, not promise.
The European Union has committed €5 million over five years through the EU-3MTT Scale-Up Programme. International credibility is locked in — your partnership carries the weight of a federally backed, globally recognised initiative.
Eight state governments are in active discussions for co-investment partnerships. Geographic expansion is underway — founding partners gain access to state-level relationships, intelligence, and co-funding opportunities as they activate.
The programme is shifting from direct training provider to a national Talent Operating System. The infrastructure — Skilladder, Talent Registry, Nigeria Launchpad — is operational. Partners who join now help define how the system works.
From expression of interest to go-live is a streamlined three-step process — designed to move at your pace without sacrificing rigour.
