If you’ve been looking for a way to turn your digital skills into a full-blown business, there’s good news coming your way.

The Federal Government is stepping up in a big way to help 3MTT Fellows do more than just learn—they want to help you launch and grow real, sustainable businesses.

In a bold new move, the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation & Digital Economy (FMCIDE) has teamed up with the Development Bank of Nigeria (DBN) to roll out a major initiative: the 3MTT DBN Annual Entrepreneurship Training Programme.


What’s the Big Idea Behind the Programme?

The whole point of this program is simple—empower 3MTT Fellows with the right business knowledge, access to funding networks, and even direct financial support.

It’s not just about giving you tools; it’s about giving you a real shot at building something that lasts.


Here’s What You’ll Gain as a Participant

Business and Financial Training (Totally Free)

From July to September 2025, you’ll get free, high-quality training focused on entrepreneurship, business strategy, and financial literacy.

It’s happening in a hybrid format—online sessions on BizAid, and hands-on in-person workshops across 12 different states in Nigeria.

 Plug into DBN’s Financial Partner Network

One of the standout perks? You’ll gain direct access to DBN’s extensive network of financial institutions and funding partners.

That means you’re not just learning—you’re connecting with real stakeholders who can help take your idea forward.

Compete for a Share of N100 Million

And here’s the icing on the cake: selected participants will get the chance to compete for a slice of a N100 million grant pool.

That’s serious capital to help turn your vision into reality.
