Prembly Says it Verified 2M Signups for Nigeria’s 3MTT

In Short

Prembly says it has supported Nigeria’s 3 Million Technical Talent (3MTT) programme with identity verification for learner registration.

The company says the partnership has supported approximately 2 million registration verifications.

What Happened: How Prembly Supports 3MTT Registration

Prembly published a customer story about its role as a founding partner in the 3MTT programme, which it says began in 2023.

3MTT is a Federal Government of Nigeria initiative led by the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, working with the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA). The programme aims to equip Nigerians with technical skills and prepare them for opportunities in local and global technology roles.

Prembly says identity verification is part of the digital infrastructure needed to register and manage learners at the scale 3MTT targets. The company says 3MTT needed identity verification that could be integrated into its digital registration process from the beginning.

According to Prembly, 3MTT uses its identity verification services to run Bank Verification Number (BVN) and National Identification Number (NIN) checks during learner registration. BVN and NIN are national identity identifiers in Nigeria, and the checks are used to verify applicants’ details against recognised identity records.

Why It Matters

Large government training programmes rely on trust in their registration systems, especially when they aim to serve millions of people.

Prembly’s update points to how identity verification tools are being used as back-end plumbing for public digital platforms, not just for private-sector onboarding.

For builders working with public sector platforms, the story also highlights that verification services and technical support become more important as registration volumes grow.
