Terms of use

1Acceptance of these terms

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the 3MTT Delivery Network Cohort 5 Partner Application Portal at delivery.3mtt.gov.ng (the “Portal”). The Portal is operated for the Three Million Technical Talent (3MTT) programme by the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy (“we”, “us”, “our”).

By accessing or using the Portal, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Portal.

2Eligibility

Anyone may browse the public pages of the Portal. To submit an application, you must:

• be at least 18 years old;
• be authorised to apply on behalf of the organisation you name, and, for a consortium, on behalf of the lead organisation;
• apply for an organisation that meets the eligibility requirements for the partnership pathway you choose (Funded Partner or Enabled Partner), as described on the Portal.

3Your account

You sign in with your work email address and a six-digit one-time code, which is valid for 15 minutes. You are responsible for keeping access to your email account secure and for all activity carried out through your sign-in. Do not share your one-time codes with anyone. If you believe someone has accessed your application without permission, contact us immediately at programs@3mttnigeria.com.

4Applications

• Accuracy: all information you submit must be true, accurate and complete. Before submitting, you will be asked to confirm a declaration to this effect.
• Verification: we may request supporting evidence, conduct interviews and carry out physical site visits to verify your application.
• False information: if we find that information is false or misleading, we may reject your application, withdraw a selection or end a partnership, and may refer the matter to the relevant authorities.
• Consortium applications: the lead organisation is responsible for the consortium’s application and for confirming that each member has agreed to apply together.
• No fees: applying is free. We will never ask you to pay to apply or to improve your chances of selection. If anyone asks you for payment in the name of the programme, do not pay, and report it to us.
• No guarantee of selection: submitting an application does not guarantee selection, funding or any other benefit. Applications are assessed against the programme’s national standard and scoring rubric.
• Timelines: we may change application dates, requirements or the number of places available. Changes will be published on the Portal.
• Partnership agreements: these terms do not create a partnership, funding commitment or employment relationship. Selected organisations will be asked to sign a separate partnership agreement, which will govern funding, payments, delivery targets and reporting.

5Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• provide false information or impersonate any person or organisation;
• access or attempt to access another user’s account or data;
• interfere with, disrupt or attempt to bypass the Portal’s security;
• upload viruses, malware or other harmful files;
• use automated tools to collect data from the Portal without our written permission;
• use the Portal for any unlawful, fraudulent or misleading purpose.

Misuse of the Portal may also be an offence under the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act 2015, as amended.

6Content you submit

You retain ownership of the information and documents you submit. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, copy, review and share them, as described in our Privacy Policy, for the purposes of assessing your application, verifying information, managing the programme and reporting on it.

You confirm that you have the right to submit all content you upload, that it does not infringe anyone’s rights, and that you are entitled to share any personal data about other people that it contains.

7Intellectual property

The Portal, including its text, design, graphics and the 3MTT name and logo, is owned by or licensed to the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy. You may view and print pages for the purpose of preparing your application. You may not copy, reproduce or use any part of the Portal or the 3MTT brand for any other purpose, or present yourself as a 3MTT partner, without our written permission.

The names and logos of the programme’s funders and partners belong to their respective owners. They are shown to acknowledge their support and do not imply endorsement of any applicant.

8Third-party links and services

The Portal may contain links to third-party websites, such as LinkedIn and X. We are not responsible for the content, availability or practices of third-party websites or services. Your use of them is subject to their own terms and policies.

9Availability and disclaimers

We aim to keep the Portal available and the information on it accurate and up to date. However, the Portal is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, and we do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, secure or free from errors. We may suspend or restrict access for maintenance, security or other operational reasons.

If a technical problem prevents you from submitting your application before a deadline, contact us at programs@3mttnigeria.com before the deadline passes.

10Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for any loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Portal. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under Nigerian law.

11Suspension and termination

We may suspend or close your access to the Portal, or remove content you have submitted, if you breach these terms, or where necessary to protect the Portal, other users or the programme.

12Changes to the Portal and these terms

We may update the Portal and these terms from time to time. The updated terms will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. If we make significant changes that affect open applications, we will notify applicants by email. Continued use of the Portal after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.

13Governing law and disputes

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms shall, in the first instance, be resolved amicably through negotiation or mediation. Where the dispute remains unresolved, it shall be referred to arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration and Mediation Act 2023, with the seat of arbitration in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria. Subject to the applicable provisions of the Act, the courts of competent jurisdiction in Nigeria shall have jurisdiction over matters arising from or relating to the arbitration.

If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
