A total of 18,698 applicants nationwide have now attempted and completed the NJFP 2.0 CBT, marking a major milestone in the ongoing assessment phase of the Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme. According to UNDP in Nigeria, “thousands more are still participating in this transparent and merit-based assessment process, with additional tests ongoing nationwide.” The organisation also appreciated the patience of applicants, saying, “We appreciate the commitment and patience of all applicants as NJFP 2.0 moves forward.”
The CBT is a key stage in NJFP 2.0, which was officially flagged off on October 22, 2025, by the Federal Government, the European Union and UNDP. The new phase aims to scale up placements to over 23,000 fellows across the country as part of efforts to reduce youth unemployment and build what partners describe as a “national workforce for the future.”
In November 2025, verified applicants were directed to schedule their CBT and install required proctoring software. Organisers stressed that the test must be taken on a computer with a functional camera, noting that phones are not accepted.
They explained that this requirement helps ensure fairness and prevent fraud during remote assessments, making the CBT both a quality-control and anti-cheating measure. Applicants with CBT-related issues were advised to email help@njfp.ng.
