The
selection of Learning Community Managers marks a significant milestone in our
efforts to empower Nigeria’s tech talents. These individuals will play a
crucial role in managing and assisting participants in the 3MTT programme as
they leverage the Learning Platform designed by IHS Nigeria. With their
guidance, 3MTT participants will have the support they need to navigate the
learning platform and maximise their learning experience.
Dr. ‘Bosun
Tijani, the Honourable Minister of Communications, Innovations & Digital
Economy, expressed his excitement about the collaborative effort, stating that
significant collaboration between the public and private sectors is required
for the national digital transformation journey. This partnership with IHS
Nigeria is the first of many that will help achieve our goal to make Nigeria a
net exporter of tech talent, as outlined in the Strategic Blueprint.
As part of
IHS Nigeria’s support, the company has committed to paying the salaries of the
37 dedicated learning community managers nationwide. Additionally, access to
the IHS Learning Platform will play a significant role in supporting 3MTT
talent development efforts.
Mohamad
Darwish, the CEO of IHS Nigeria stated that the company’s collaboration with
the Federal Government on the 3MTT initiative aligns with the President’s
Renewed Hope Agenda and the Minister of Communications, Innovation &
Digital Economy’s Strategic Plan. He went further to mention that the
initiative also aligns with one of their sustainability pillars which is
Education. He continued by saying that investing in digital skills helps to
build a skilled and qualified talent pool that will stimulate job creation,
innovations, business growth, and the diversification of the economy. It is further evidence of IHS’s continued
commitment to building a prosperous nation, along with their recently announced
milestone commemorating a rollout of over 10,000 kilometres of fibre optic
cables across Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, which is
aimed at improving the quality and access to broadband and next-generation
digital services for individuals, businesses, and organisations throughout the
Country.
As we
continue to build momentum, we look forward to seeing the impact and the
contributions of the 3MTT Community Managers in empowering Nigeria’s tech
talents.
