The Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme (NJFP) was launched on 31st August 2021 by President Mohammadu Buhari led administration as a partnership initiative between the Federal Government of Nigeria and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
The programme was necessitated by the rising unemployment and the COVID-19 pandemic which are all impacting the ability of young Nigerians to find work.
NJFP seeks to connect talented graduates with local job opportunities that apply to their expertise while equipping them with world-class practical knowledge and relevant skills. It does not matter if you have no job experience!
The 20,000 targeted beneficiaries to participate in the programme would be monthly Stipends ranging from N20,000 to N50,000 for a period of 1 year.
