The Federal Government has revealed a new “Impact Challenge” aimed at strengthening outcomes from the three-million-man training programme, as it moves to scale up its digital skills initiative.
Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Mr. Bosun Tijani, announced the challenge in a post on his X handle on Tuesday.
He stated that more than 135,000 Nigerians across three cohorts have been trained during the pilot phase of the 3 Million Tech Talent (3MTT) programme.
He added that community resources have extended learning to over 300,000 learners, while the initiative has contributed to the creation of 15,000 job and opportunity pathways.
“Beyond these, over 1.8 million Nigerians are currently within the #3MTT pipeline as we work towards the programme’s broader ambition of equipping three million citizens with in-demand digital skills,” the minister wrote.
In preparation for the next phase of the programme and to scale its reach across the country, the challenge will help the government measure its impact.
“As we enter the scale-up phase of the programme where we accelerate our spread towards our target, our focus is on deepening impact by strengthening the alumni community, expanding access to opportunity, and ensuring skills translate into real outcomes.
