Nigeria Jubilee Fellows programme supports graduates
The NJFP explained that the initiative existed to support graduates as they navigated complex labour markets in search of meaningful work. The programme was described as a bridge connecting fresh graduates to employment opportunities within both public and private sector organisations.
By linking graduates to work placements, the NJFP aimed to provide practical experience and exposure to professional environments. Organisers highlighted that this approach was intended to ease the transition from academic study to the workplace, helping young Nigerians build careers and contribute to national development.
The Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme (NJFP 2.0) represents a renewed national effort to equip Nigerians with the skills, mentorship, and opportunities they need to build lasting careers. Led by the Federal Government of Nigeria, with support from the European Union (EU) and implemented by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the programme connects talented graduates to meaningful work placements, career guidance, and entrepreneurial pathways.
Since its first placements in October 2022, NJFP has provided thousands of graduates with fully paid, 12-month placements across leading organizations in both the public and private sectors, equipping them with practical experience and leadership skills needed for the future of work.
Building on its proven success, NJFP 2.0 ushers in a new era of scale and strategic integration, leveraging digital technology for programme delivery and skills development to place 23,724 fellows, positioning the programme as Nigeria's national platform for youth employability, workforce transformation and enterprise support.
