MTN Nigeria, in partnership with the School of Media and Communication (SMC), Pan-Atlantic University (PAU), has opened applications for the fourth edition of the MTN Media Innovation Programme (MTN MIP-4).
The six-month fully funded certificate fellowship, aimed at media professionals and content creators, will commence on May 19, 2025, at Pan-Atlantic University’s Main Campus in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos.
MTN Nigeria launched MIP in 2022 to enhance media practitioners’ understanding of the evolving media landscape and its intersection with technology.
The program is open to professionals across the media spectrum, including print, electronic, and digital platforms, as well as social media content creators. Participants will gain deeper insights into Nigeria’s technology sector and the dynamic relationship between media and innovation.
