MTN Nigeria, in collaboration with the School of Media and Communication at Pan-Atlantic University, has announced the opening of applications for the fourth edition of the MTN Media Innovation Programme (MTN MIP-4).
This fully funded six-month fellowship aims to equip 20 selected media professionals with the essential skills to navigate the evolving media and technology landscape.
The programme, set to commence on May 19, 2025, at Pan-Atlantic University’s Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos campus, offers an immersive learning experience covering media, technology, and content creation.
It is open to journalists, broadcasters, digital content creators, and professionals from print, electronic, and online media. Participants will gain deeper insights into Nigeria’s technology sector, the intersection of media and innovation, and strategies to enhance storytelling in the digital age.
A key highlight of the fellowship is an international study visit to the University of Johannesburg, South Africa, offering global perspectives on media trends and digital transformation.
According to Chief Corporate Services & Sustainability Officer at MTN Nigeria, Tobe Okigbo, “MIP was designed to empower media professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to thrive in today’s fast-changing industry.”
Dr. Ikechukwu Obiaya, Dean of the School of Media and Communication at Pan-Atlantic University, emphasized the programme’s role in shaping the future of media in Nigeria. “Through MIP-4, we aim to foster creativity, adaptability, and excellence among the next generation of media leaders,” he stated.
At the end of the fellowship, the 20 fellows will gain industry-relevant skills, mentorship from Pan-Atlantic University’s faculty, and access to professional networks.
The training will equip them with the tools needed for career advancement, financial success, and a greater impact in the media industry. Applications are now open, and eligible media professionals are encouraged to apply.
