The information circulating on WhatsApp urging Nigerians to apply for the Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme (NJFP) via a certain link is false.
Findings show that the official website of the Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme (NJFP) is https://www.njfp.ng/ as opposed to the one in the WhatsApp message. Applications are open from 6 September 2021 to 20 October 2021.

Meanwhile, the Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme (NJFP) is a youth empowerment partnership initiative between the Federal Government and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
The project was flagged off on August 31, 2021, by President Muhammadu Buhari with the aim of helping 20,000 graduates annually with post-COVID-19 job search.
The programme aims to equip Nigerian graduates with practical knowledge and relevant skills for a 12-month period, with or without job experience, thereby connecting them with local job opportunities.
The sectors include information and communications technology, financial services, trade, manufacturing, agriculture and agro-processing, mining, telecommunications, creative industries and technology, education, health, research and development. The programme will create three options for applicants upon completion of the fellowship, including retainship with respective host organisations, entrepreneurship opportunities, and a platform to compete and access future jobs and employment opportunities.
