How To Apply For MTN Nigeria And PAU MIP Initiative
The Chief Executive Officer of MTN Nigeria, Mr. Karl Toriola, on Wednesday, in partnership with the Pan Atlantic University (PAU) in Lagos launched the Media Innovation Programme (MIP) to support media practitioners in the country.
Speaking on the MTN Nigeria and PAU MIP initiative, Toriola said the programme would be handled by PAU’s School of Media and Communication (SMC).
“The six-month, fully funded fellowship for Nigerian media practitioners is designed to support the sustainable development of the nation’s changing media scene.
“It is open to media practitioners across the spectrum, including print, electronic, online platforms, and social media content creators.
“The course is designed to give participants a greater understanding of Nigeria’s technology sector and the nexus between media and technology; it will also leave participants better able to adapt to changing realities. Fellows will also have access to professional resources and mentorship from the SMC faculty,” Toriola said.
Toriola added: “We are driven by our belief that everyone deserves the benefits of a modern connected world and are driving accelerated growth by leading digital solutions for Nigeria’s progress.
“Against this backdrop, the media landscape continues changing at remarkable speeds, boosted by new technologies. Thus, it is only fitting that we support developments in the Nigerian media space with our infrastructure and enable capacity-building initiatives to enable innovation in media practice.
“It’s a delight to partner with the PAU, who, through their expertise, have contributed to the professional development of the media industry, not only in Nigeria but across Africa.”

“The MTN MIP could not have come at a better time for Nigerian media practitioners to imbibe these pertinent values.”
The media training, which would be fully sponsored by MTN Nigeria, would be available to 20 successful applicants.
