I came across an advert from the office of the minister of the Federal Ministry of Communication, innovation, and Digital Technology regarding the 3MTT. (3 million technical talent program ) a program that is designed to train 3 million Nigerians on key technological skills including
1. Software development
2. UI/UX design
3. Data analysis and visualization
4. Quality assurance
5. Product Management
6. Data science
7. Animation
8. AI/ machine learning.
8. Cyber security.
9. Game development
10. Cloud Computing
11. Devs ops.
I picked a lot of interest in it because I feel that if this is genuinely carried out, it would go a long way in increasing the employability of the average Nigerian youth that will benefit from the program and this led me to follow up on the ministry activity on YouTube and from the analysis on how the program is structured, it appears to me as one that will be very feasible. Here is the link to the YouTube briefing by the minister.

Maybe you should check it out.

Here is my take on this, Dr Bosun Tojani is a youth that is into the technological sector and has a lot of passion for the blockchain technology and this is what led him to creating the 3MTT program and also came up with the national blockchain technology. No matter the success or failure rate of this projects, If we have like minded individuals like bosun tojani in key political position both at the state and federal level, it won't take time before the technically innovative part of our country will spring up tall to the peak and it will become easier for bitcoin and the blockchain technology to be adopted in Nigeria.
