3MTT Programme
Looking for straightforward updates on the 3MTT Programme? You’re in the right place. This tag collects news, event announcements, competition results, and practical advice aimed at researchers, students, and organisers across Africa who want to present big ideas in three minutes.
What the 3MTT Programme covers
The 3MTT (Three Minute Thesis and Talent) Programme focuses on short, sharp research pitches. Here you’ll find: event notices and registration details, winner profiles and judges’ feedback, tips on slide design and voice control, plus reports from workshops and regional heats. If a university or research centre runs a local 3MTT heat, we’ll summarise the outcome and highlight presentations to watch.
Expect practical, usable information. Want to know how winners structure their talk? We break down the opening sentence, the single visual that worked, and the final line that sealed the deal. Looking for training resources? We point you to sample scripts, timing drills, and instructors who run simulation sessions.
Who should follow this tag
Students preparing for a 3-minute pitch, supervisors coaching entrants, event organisers, and funders scouting clear communicators will all find value. New to 3MTT? Start with our how-to posts: they explain pacing, simplifying complex terms, and using a single strong visual. Already competing? Check our coverage of recent heats to spot trends judges reward — storytelling, clarity, and confident delivery.
We also cover the logistics you care about: submission deadlines, eligibility rules, prize details, and links to submission forms. When competitions run online, we note streaming platforms and how to submit video entries. When events are in-person, we tell you venue tips and rehearsal slots.
Want examples you can use right away? Try this quick practice: strip your abstract to one sentence, pick one image that represents your main result, and rehearse till you hit 180 seconds with room to breathe. Small edits to wording and one strong anecdote usually make a pitch more memorable.
Use the tag feed to track momentum — from campus heats to national finals. We surface profiles of winners and short interviews where presenters share what changed in their approach. That makes it easy to copy winning habits without wasting time on trial and error.

Want targeted advice? Email our team with your pitch link and we’ll suggest one or two edits to sharpen your message. This tag is for people who want clear, fast results — not theory. Read the posts, try one edit, and you'll see improvement on the next stage.
3MTT Programme: Tinubu's Ambitious Job Creation Vision for Nigerian Youth
The 3MTT Programme, launched by President Bola Tinubu's administration, aims to create three million jobs for Nigerian youth. The initiative, unveiled by the Minister of Information, underscores the administration's focus on youth as key to national progress.
