Organizations across Nigeria are being invited to become Host Organizations under NJFP 2.0, as the Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme (NJFP) rolls out a new digital system designed to simplify the entire fellowship process.
In today’s fast-changing job market, connecting talented young Nigerians with the right opportunities is more important than ever. That is why the Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme (NJFP), a Federal Government of Nigeria initiative funded by the European Union and implemented in partnership with the UNDP, has introduced NJFP 2.0. The upgraded platform is described as a smarter, faster, and more transparent digital system that powers the entire fellowship journey from application to alumni engagement.
According to the programme, the NJFP 2.0 portal makes the process seamless for both fellows and host organizations. Becoming a host organization is quick and fully digital. Interested organizations are required to visit the NJFP portal and click on “Apply as a Host Organization.” Applicants must provide their organization details, CAC number, tax identification number, business address, and contact information, ensuring that all entries match official company records. The programme warns that inaccurate information can delay approval.
The next step requires confirmation of the office’s current location. Applicants must turn on their device GPS and allow location access in their browser so that the system can match the exact location with the address provided. Once the GPS matches, the application is considered complete.
After submission, applications are reviewed by the NJFP team. Approved organizations receive access to a personalized host dashboard where they can add departments, upload focal person details, and manage fellowship activities in one place.
The platform also handles matching and selection. The system’s AI recommends eligible fellows based on discipline, skills, gender, or location. Host organizations can review profiles, invite candidates for interviews, and send offer letters directly through the dashboard. Once a fellow accepts an offer and resumes, the host validates the start date to activate the placement. Attendance tracking, performance monitoring, and monthly feedback submission are done online.
For support or replacements, hosts are advised to use the grievance redress mechanism, which is designed for quick and transparent issue resolution. Throughout the fellowship cycle, host organizations participate in quarterly surveys and submit a final evaluation at the end.
After completion, organizations remain connected through a talent hub that provides access to trained NJFP alumni for future roles or mentorship opportunities.
The programme states that “Host Organizations should contact NJFP directly if a Fellow fails to resume one week after the recommended date or if concerns arise.” It adds that issues must be handled strictly within established processes.
NJFP emphasizes that it “is built on integrity, fairness and professionalism,” warning that any Host Organization or Fellow found engaging in practices that undermine the programme will face disqualification and blacklisting.
