The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced a landmark partnership between the 3 Million Technical Talent programme and Hello.cv. The deal, worth more than $10 million, will connect Nigerian tech talent with recruiters and employers across the world. It marks a decisive shift in 3MTT’s mission: from building skills to building visibility.
3MTT is a flagship initiative of the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, built to grow Nigeria’s technical talent base and position the country as Africa’s leading digital economy. The programme has trained 160,000 fellows across all 36 states and the FCT.
Hello.cv connects skilled professionals with global career opportunities through AI-powered, recruiter-ready profiles. The platform is shifting from a general free tier to a purposeful access model, and this partnership now serves as one of its primary channels for Nigerians to access it at no cost.
Ope Awoyemi, co-founder and chief evangelist at Hello.cv, said the partnership targets a problem skills training alone cannot fix. “This partnership is about more than profiles or platforms,” he said. “It is about giving an entire generation of talent a global identity. Incredible developers and builders have remained invisible beyond their local ecosystems. With this initiative, we are ensuring that Nigerian talent is not just skilled, but discoverable, competitive, and positioned to win on the global stage.”
What the partnership puts on the table
The deal gives 20,000 3MTT fellows exclusive access to a Hello.cv profile package worth $500 per person. Each package includes a personal .cv domain, an AI-powered job search agent and a professional CV writer.
Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy Dr. Bosun Tijani said the programme’s job was never just to train. “The 3MTT programme has produced thousands of skilled, world-class Nigerian tech talents. This partnership with Hello.cv ensures that their skills are not just developed, they are seen, valued, and rewarded globally. Today, we are connecting Nigeria’s talent to the world.”
How the activation will work
A Global Profile Week sprint will anchor the activation. Fellows will set up their Hello.cv profiles and position themselves for discovery by global employers. The top 10 fellows with the strongest profiles will earn 12 months of Hello.cv Premium access, a recruiter spotlight and a one-on-one career review.
3MTT is not just training Nigeria’s digital talent. It is positioning, profiling and pushing that talent onto a stage the whole world can see.
