11. What distinguishes the Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme from other youth empowerment programmes?

Ans: We understand how difficult it is to find work in Nigeria as a recent graduate with no prior work experience. The Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme (NJFP) provides highly qualified Nigerians with little or no job experience with opportunities to work at some of the most sought-after private sector firms on the market. Other programmes and initiatives tend to demand applicants to meet some sort of advanced criterion or lower the entry bar in terms of the types of opportunities accessible. NJFP achieves the exact opposite, accepting talented applicants on an equal footing without jeopardising the reputation of the organisations that will host successful Fellows. Oh, and the initiative will be available throughout Nigeria, from north to south, east to west, allowing organisations and youth from all regions to join.
