The Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme has reopened its 2026 application portal, offering fresh graduates another opportunity to access structured, paid work placements across Nigeria’s public and private sectors.
The programme, which had earlier indicated that applications were closed, confirmed that eligible candidates can now submit applications for the new cycle. Successful applicants will be placed in organisations across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory for a 12-month period, during which they will receive a monthly stipend of ₦150,000.
The NJFP is designed to support young Nigerians who have recently completed tertiary education and are seeking practical work experience to strengthen their employability. Applicants must be Nigerian citizens who graduated not earlier than 2022 and hold either a bachelor’s degree or a Higher National Diploma from any discipline. Bachelor’s degree holders are required to have at least a Second-Class Lower division, while HND holders must possess an Upper Credit. Candidates must also be 30 years old or younger, unemployed at the time of application, and must have completed the National Youth Service Corps or obtained a valid exemption.
Beyond academic qualifications, the programme places emphasis on applicants’ commitment to their chosen career paths, willingness to contribute to Nigeria’s socio-economic development, and possession of strong communication skills, professionalism, and effective time management. Applicants are required to provide a notarised degree certificate alongside their NYSC certificate or exemption letter during the application process.
Providing guidance on how to apply, the programme advised interested candidates to submit their applications through its official portal at [www.njfp.ng/apply].
