MTN Nigeria Extends Media Innovation Programme Deadline

MTN Nigeria announced an extension of the application deadline for its Media Innovation Programme to April 25, 2026. This program, which is fully funded, is designed for media professionals and digital content creators across Nigeria.

The extension was communicated by Lakin Bofa Goodluck, MTN Nigeria's Public Relations Manager, and aims to provide additional opportunities for qualified applicants. The 2026 cohort will accept 25 fellows, building on the previous editions of the program.

This initiative coincides with MTN Nigeria's 25th anniversary in the country and represents a significant investment in storytelling and media innovation in Africa. The program, launched in 2022 in partnership with the School of Media and Communication at Pan-Atlantic University, includes a six-month certification course that has grown in prominence, combining academic sessions with industry engagement and international study visits.

The program is open to practitioners across various media platforms, and successful applicants will commence in May 2026.
