The Federal Government is set to host the third edition of the 3MTT Impact Summit, a nationwide event aimed at showcasing digital talent and helping Nigerians convert their ideas into practical technology solutions.
The programme, run by the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy in partnership with the National Information Technology Development Agency, is part of efforts to equip citizens with digital skills and link them to job opportunities.
The summit will be held across six regions. Delta, Gombe, and Kano will host the South-South, North-East and North-West editions from 28–29 November. Enugu will host the South-East edition on 3–4 December, followed by Lagos for the South-West on 8–9 December, while Abuja will host the North-Central event on 10–11 December.
Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Bosun Tijani, said the regional showcases will allow fellows to present solutions inspired by their communities, describing the summit as a bridge between learning and industry. Winners from recent hackathons will pitch their products to policymakers, investors and industry leaders.
Launched in 2023, the 3MTT programme aims to train three million Nigerians in software development, artificial intelligence, data science, cybersecurity and other digital skills by 2027. The government hopes the initiative will help create two million digital jobs by 2025.
Participants at the summit will receive cash awards, mentorship and support to scale their innovations nationwide.
