NJFP — Opportunity in action

Empowering Nigerian graduates with real work experience

The Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme (NJFP) is a Federal Government of Nigeria initiative, funded by the European Union (EU) and implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). It seeks to address the unemployment challenge by connecting talented young Nigerian graduates with job placement opportunities in Host Organizations across the country— offering experience, building skills, and preparing the workforce of the future.

NJFP Revalidation
Update NJFP 2.0 Revalidation

We’ve officially kicked off the revalidation process as part of the transition to a stronger, more efficient #NJFP in October 2025 and we want to ensure you’re ready to move forward.

If you’re unmatched in the current NJFP talent pool, you must complete the revalidation exercise to be considered for NJFP 2.0.

Revalidate your profile Deadline: Friday 3rd October, 2025

Revalidation is mandatory but it does not guarantee placement. Matching will follow the updated programme framework and eligibility requirements.
Let’s build a better future of work. Together.
