Jubilee Fellows Programme expands to more organisations in Nigeria
The Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme is set to broaden its reach as it enters a new phase. Launched through a partnership involving Bola Tinubu’s administration, the United Nations Development Programme, and the European Union, it aims to connect young graduates with year-long work placements. Since its inception, thousands have benefited across various sectors and states. Organisers announced improvements to the matching process on June 5, 2025, to ensure better outcomes for both fellows and host organisations.
TLDR
- The programme is expanding its roster of participating organisations for its second phase.
- It offers 12-month work placements for young Nigerian graduates, focusing on mentorship and practical training.
- Any registered business, NGO, or government agency with proper documentation can apply online at no cost.
- Organisers are refining the matching process to reduce mismatches and improve career outcomes.
- Both large and small organisations benefit, with some converting fellows to permanent staff since the programme’s launch.
