Evidence snapshot for Nigeria
Nigeria is home to several major tech and innovation initiatives: Adaptive Atelier operates a network of 5,000+ disabled consultants providing accessibility testing to ~5,000 organisations, addressing a context where an estimated 63% of disabled adults are unemployed among Nigeria's 35 million people with disabilities. The 3 Million Technical Talent (3MTT) Programme had enrolled 301,270+ fellows across all 36 states by mid-2024 toward training 3 million tech professionals by 2027. CcHub, Africa's pioneering innovation hub founded in Lagos, has cumulatively deployed $17.1 million to ventures and trained 25,245 individuals. A World Bank RCT in Edo State demonstrated that six weeks of GPT-4 tutoring delivered English learning gains equivalent to two academic years for 800 senior secondary students.
