Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme Secures Major Private Sector Commitments at Lagos Forum
The Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme (NJFP) convened leading private sector organisations, government officials, and development partners at the NJFP 2.0 Employers Forum in Lagos, securing renewed commitments to strengthen the country workforce pipeline and accelerate youth employment across key economic sectors.
Main Facts and Key Details
The Forum, themed Building a National Workforce for the Future, brought together forward-thinking employers to engage directly with pre-screened NJFP Fellows and Alumni. The Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme is an initiative of the Federal Government of Nigeria, funded by the European Union and implemented by the United Nations Development Programme. The programme connects talented Nigerian graduates with local opportunities in host organisations for twelve months, providing hands-on training, skills development, coaching, and mentoring.
Since its launch in 2021, NJFP has placed over twenty-one thousand graduates across more than four thousand nine hundred host organisations nationwide, significantly reducing the average time it takes young Nigerians to transition into employment. Fellows undergo structured workplace readiness training and are deployed across financial services, manufacturing, telecommunications, energy, and agribusiness sectors.
Reactions and Context
Mrs. Boladele Dapo-Thomas, Chairman of the Lagos State Civil Service Commission, delivered remarks on behalf of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, stating that every employer at the forum was making a direct investment in the human capital that will power the nation next chapter. Inga Stefanowicz, Head of Section for Green and Digital Economy at the European Union Delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS, reaffirmed the EU support for Nigeria workforce development, noting that equipping graduates with relevant skills strengthens the foundations for sustainable economic growth.
UNDP Resident Representative in Nigeria, Ms. Elsie G. Attafuah, emphasised that workforce transformation is increasingly being recognised as a shared national responsibility and a shared economic opportunity. Meanwhile, Hadiza Bala Usman, Special Adviser to the President on Policy and Coordination, separately urged Nigerian youths to embrace technical and vocational education, digital skills, and innovation as key drivers of economic growth during a lecture at Kaduna Polytechnic.
Challenges and Outlook
Nigeria continues to face a critical workforce transition challenge, with over six hundred thousand graduates entering the labour market annually while many employers report persistent gaps in work readiness. The NJFP 2.0 Employers Forum marks a significant step toward a more coordinated, demand-driven approach to graduate employment. By placing employers at the centre of workforce development, the programme continues to strengthen its role as a national platform for talent placement and productivity growth.
Organisations that were unable to attend the Forum are encouraged to sign up on the official website to participate in the programme and contribute to building a stronger, work-ready workforce for Nigeria.
