The management of the Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme (NJFP) has released a new update regarding the selection process of the Programme.

The management of the programme, through an email, sent to applicants, stated that the selection process of the programme is still ongoing and will be completed before 15th May 2022, thereby urging applicants to exercise patience.

The Nigeria Jubilee Fellowship Programme (NJFP) is a youth empowerment partnership initiative between the Federal Government of Nigeria and the United Nations Development Programme.

President Muhammadu Buhari-led’s administration launched the Nigeria Jubilee Fellowship Programme (NJFP) with the aim of creating new opportunities for 20,000 recent graduates annually as the beneficiaries will use the opportunities presented to them and maximize their 12 months of engagement.

According to the NJFP Team:

“Dear NJFP Applicant,

“Thank you so much for bearing with us as our technical teams work hard to complete the selection process. Significant effort is being made to accelerate this phase of the Nigeria Jubilee Fellowship Programme.

“We would like to use this platform to update you as follows:

1. Number of Applicants: we received a total of 365,679 registered applicants to the Jubilee fellows Programme nationwide.
2. Out of this number of applicants, 116,636met the minimum qualifications based on the selection criteria.

As you are aware the fellowship seeks to place 20,000 fellows annually. The process of final selection from the pre-selected is now underway.
Three main steps are ongoing:

1. Final Selection of Fellows: This phase includes administering a series of aptitude tests and other qualitative assessments to further filter applicants
2. Selection of Host Organizations: Review and final selection of host organization applicants to be matched with selected Fellows.
3. Matching Fellows with Host Organizations: Final matching of the selected fellows to host organizations in both private and public sector institutions.

“Following these three steps, communication will be made to successful applicants. Fellow profiles then are developed and sent to prospective host companies for their final review. This will then lead to the onboarding process into the programme.

“We aim to have this process completed before 15 May 2022.  We thank you for your continued patience and support,
