Comprehensive Application Process
The NJFP 2.0 recruitment follows a rigorous five-stage selection process designed to identify the most qualified candidates:
Online Application: Interested candidates must first complete the digital application form available on the official NJFP 2.0 portal. The system automatically screens applications against established criteria, with qualified applicants advancing to the next stage.
Computer-Based Test: Eligible candidates will undertake an aptitude assessment measuring cognitive and analytical capabilities. Applicants must achieve a minimum score of 70% to proceed further in the selection process.
Video Submission: Successful candidates then create and upload a 60-second introductory video. This component evaluates communication skills, confidence, and clarity of expression.
Psychometric Assessment: Qualified applicants complete a personality and behavioral assessment that contributes to their profile in the NJFP talent database.
Final Onboarding: Candidates who successfully navigate all previous stages are formally inducted into the NJFP talent pool and become eligible for placement with partner organizations.
Important Updates for Applicants
The NJFP management has clarified that no Computer-Based Tests will be conducted before the application window closes. Applicants who have already scheduled their assessments will receive email instructions regarding new test dates.
Prospective applicants are advised to regularly check their email inboxes, including spam folders, for important updates and notifications from the program administrators.
The Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme aims to equip young Nigerian graduates with practical skills, professional mentorship, and exposure to vital economic sectors. The initiative seeks to develop a generation of career-ready professionals who can contribute meaningfully to national development.
