The Federal Government has introduced a new “Impact Challenge” to deepen results from its three-million-man training programme as it scales up the national digital skills drive.
The Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Mr. Bosun Tijani, announced the initiative in a post on his X handle on Tuesday.
According to him, over 135,000 Nigerians have been trained across three cohorts during the pilot phase of the 3 Million Tech Talent programme.
He noted that community-driven resources have expanded learning opportunities to more than 300,000 participants, while the programme has helped create about 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 stated.
In preparation for the next phase of the programme and its nationwide scale-up, the challenge will enable the government to assess and measure its overall 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.

“As part of this next phase, I would like to hear directly from Fellows and partners through the #3MTTImpactChallenge on how 3MTT has shaped your journey so far, through the 3MTT National Impact Reflection,” he said.
The challenge requires participants to share a “before and after” story on social media platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn, X, TikTok and Instagram, using the mandatory hashtags #My3MTTStory, #3MTTImpactChallenge and #3MTTNigeria.
Participants are also required to tag the official accounts of President Bola Tinubu, the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, and 3MTT Nigeria.
In addition, they must tag at least two partner organisations, including UNDP, Airtel Nigeria, MTN Nigeria, Huawei, Moniepoint, Google, Microsoft, the EU, AWS, IHS and Denmark.
