The Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme (NJFP) has released a fresh update on the ongoing Computer-Based Test (CBT) for its 2025/2026 recruitment cycle, confirming that close to 25,000 applicants have already completed the assessment across the country.
The update was issued as part of NJFP 2.0, a federal youth employment programme funded by the European Union and implemented in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
According to the programme managers, a total of 24,996 applicants have successfully attempted and completed the NJFP CBT so far, while testing is still ongoing for other eligible candidates nationwide.
What the NJFP CBT Is About
The Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme is a 12-month paid internship scheme designed to place young Nigerian graduates in private and public sector organisations to improve their work experience and employability.
The Computer-Based Test is one of the key stages in the NJFP recruitment process. It is used to assess applicants fairly and objectively before moving them to the next stages of selection.
NJFP explained that the CBT is part of a transparent and merit-based process, ensuring that candidates are evaluated using the same standards, regardless of location or background.
CBT Still Ongoing Nationwide
While nearly 25,000 applicants have already completed the test, NJFP clarified that CBT sessions are still ongoing across different centres in Nigeria.
Applicants who are yet to write their test are advised to remain patient and continue to monitor official communication from the programme. NJFP reassured candidates that no group is being rushed or favoured, as the process is structured to accommodate eligible applicants nationwide.
In a short message to participants, the programme stated:
“We thank all participants for their commitment and patience as NJFP 2.0 progresses.”
What the CBT Means for the NJFP Selection Process
The CBT is not the final stage of the Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme recruitment. Instead, it serves as an important screening step that helps narrow down applicants based on performance.
After the CBT phase, successful candidates are expected to move forward in the NJFP selection process, which may include further verification and placement stages.
NJFP has repeatedly emphasised that selection is based on merit, and that performance at each stage matters. Applicants are therefore advised to avoid speculation and rely only on official updates from the programme.
Support for Applicants Facing CBT Issues
NJFP also addressed concerns from applicants who may be experiencing challenges related to the CBT, including technical difficulties or access issues.
Applicants with CBT-related problems have been directed to contact the programme through official support channels only.

Guidance for NJFP Applicants

Applicants are encouraged to remain calm, follow instructions carefully, and continue to check their dashboards and registered email addresses for updates as the NJFP 2.0 process continues.
What Applicants Should Expect Next
As CBT sessions continue nationwide, NJFP is expected to release further updates on the next stages of the recruitment process once testing is concluded.
Applicants are advised to stay informed through official NJFP announcements and avoid spreading unverified information.
