The Federal Government has announced the shortlisting of fellows for the second phase of the 3MTT programme on February 29, 2024. Dr. Bosun Tijani, Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, shared this update, marking significant progress in the initiative.

Key Updates from the Minister

Dr. Bosun Tijani revealed that the announcement of fellows for the 2nd phase will be made on February 29, 2024, with training set to commence in March. The Minister emphasized the importance of feedback in improving the programme’s execution for both fellows and training providers nationwide.

Expansion and Job Placement

The FG plans to train an additional 270,000 fellows over the next 18 months and has expressed gratitude for the support from partners and stakeholders. Job placements for the first cohort are underway, with over 1,400 organizations showing interest in hiring from the programme.
