Common mistakes when applying for NJFP
Legit.ng earlier reported that the Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme (NJFP) has released a list of three frequent error messages applicants face when applying for the internship programme.
The programme is implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) with European Union (EU) funding and aims to bridge the gap between learning and earning for graduates. This was contained in a short statement issued via the NJFP X handle @NigeriaJFP on Tuesday, October 28, 2025.
The NJFP also explained how applicants can fix the errors and this error may occur due to temporary downtime or a connection issue with the NIN verification service provider.
