Evidence snapshot for Nigeria
Nigeria is implementing large-scale digital skills and tech talent programmes: 3 Million Technical Talent (3MTT) has enrolled 301,270+ fellows across all 36 states via 120 applied learning clusters, while She Code Africa has trained 40,000–70,000+ women and girls in coding and digital skills across 20+ African countries including Nigeria. The country is also deploying AI-driven public systems: B'Odogwu's unified customs platform generated ₦230 billion in revenue between October 2024 and May 2025, cut clearance time to 2 hours for compliant shipments, and trained 1,800+ officers in AI and data analytics. Evidence also shows targeted support for marginalised groups—SABI-Woman trained 2,878 women and girls with disabilities and provided startup capital to 670 women with an 88% repayment rate—though these practices are largely self-reported or descriptive rather than independently evaluated.
