Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme (NJFP) has issued delisting notices via email to candidates it accused of violating programme rules and ethics.
In the notice sent to affected fellows, NJFP stated, “The NJFP quality assurance team upon conversations and investigations, has found out that you have violated NJFP rules and ethics. Please note that you have been delisted and blacklisted from the NJFP.” The programme also wished the candidates well in their future endeavours.
Information reaching Nigeria Startup News indicates that NJFP officials did not clearly explain the specific offence to at least one affected fellow. When contacted by the fellow, NJFP officials reportedly said the fellow was posted to Sterling Bank but failed to resume duties, which informed the delisting decision.
However, one affected fellow, Tyodio Solomon Bemdoo, who was shortlisted in 2022 but not matched to any host organisation, disputed the claim. Bemdoo said he neither received communication from Sterling Bank nor NJFP officials about being matched. “They didn’t post me to anywhere, they just used that excuse to delist me,” he said.
Following the development, fellows awaiting placement have been advised to regularly check their email, including spam folders, to avoid missing important NJFP communication updates.
