Nigeria's Minister of Communications and IHS Towers Partner to Boost Technical Education

16 Jun 2024

The Nigerian Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, has made a significant move by partnering with IHS Towers to revolutionize technical education in the country. This collaboration centers around the establishment of the 3 Million Technical Talent (3MTT) Learning Community, a part of the newly launched 3MTT program.

What makes this partnership unique is IHS Towers' commitment to fund the salaries of 37 dedicated learning community managers in each of Nigeria's 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory for the next three years. This generous investment is expected to significantly enhance technical education in Nigeria.

The 3MTT Learning Community is not just about theory; it's designed to provide practical, hands-on learning experiences. This is essential for addressing the country's skills gap effectively. Learners will work on real-world projects, gain valuable experience, and develop the skills needed for today's technology-driven job market.

The partnership between the Ministry of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy and IHS Towers sets an example for future collaborations between the government and the private sector. Their goal is to strengthen technical education, making it more inclusive, practical, and aligned with industry demands.

In summary, this partnership aims to empower a new generation of tech talent in Nigeria, stimulate innovation, drive economic growth, and position Nigeria as a hub for technical excellence.
