The Federal Government is stepping up efforts to link thousands of Nigerians trained under its 3 Million Technical Talent (3MTT) program to job opportunities, both locally and abroad, by working with business process outsourcing (BPO) companies.
The initiative targeting 3 million Nigerians is said to have trained over 117,000 people so far, and some of them are already engaged.
Speaking in an interview on Arise TV, the Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani, explained that while training is crucial, the bigger challenge has always been creating job opportunities for graduates of such initiatives.
