Kashim Ibrahim Fellowship: Call for 2021/2022 Applications
Kaduna State Government introduced its inaugural class of the Kashim Ibrahim Fellowship in August 2018 with 16 Fellows from all over Nigeria participating in the one-year programme.

The one-year Fellowship aims to create a network of high potential young Nigerians who are expected to rise to top leadership positions in the public sector and other spheres of activity over the next decade. The overall mission of the non-partisan programme, as envisioned by Governor Nasir el-Rufai, is in his words, “to raise the next generation of leaders who will most likely be absorbed into the Nigerian public sector having had a first-hand experience of its workings and challenges”.
