Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme (NJFP) 2.0 has started sending new emails to applicants withdrawing earlier messages that said their applications were not successful. The management of NJFP explained that the previous emails were sent due to a temporary verification issue.
The new withdrawal email reads, “Dear candidate,
We hope this message finds you well.
We recently sent you an email stating that your NJFP application was not successful. Please disregard that message, as it was sent due to a temporary verification issue.
Your application is still under consideration.
Thank you for your understanding and for your continued interest in the Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme (NJFP).”
Earlier, NJFP had sent rejection emails to some applicants, explaining that their applications were not successful because they graduated before 2022.
The earlier message stated, “Hello candidate,
After careful review, we regret to inform you that your NJFP application was not successful.
The following reasons contributed to this outcome:
You graduated before 2022
Thank you for your interest in the programme.
We wish you the best in your future endeavours.”
Nigeriastartupact commends NJFP’s withdrawal of the rejection emails as a necessary correction. The age requirement stated that applicants must not exceed 30 years old, so using a 2022 graduation limit in 2025 was not reasonable.
Below is screenshot of the new withdrawal email:
