NJFP, a Nigerian government initiative being implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) with a seed investment from the European Union (EU), is coordinated by the office of the Vice President.

Speaking while inaugurating the Steering Committee of the NJFP at the Presidential Villa, Shettima described the programme as a decisive step by the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu toward equipping Nigerian youths with the required tools to become employees, innovators and leaders in their chosen careers.

UNDP Resident Representative in Nigeria, Elsie Attafuah commended the federal government for its unwavering leadership and commitment to advancing Nigerian human capital development, particularly youth development as part of the Renewed Hope Agenda.

The Nigeria Jubilee Programme, NJFP was established to address challenges confronting Nigerian graduates in accessing meaningful jobs, as well as develop, test and deploy a scalable model that would effectively assist in tackling the root causes of growing unemployment and underemployment in Nigeria.
