Make a difference in Nigeria's future by joining The Emerging Political Leaders Fellowship. Develop your leadership skills and prepare for local, regional, and national leadership roles.

The deadline for the submission of applications is February 28, 2023.



The Emerging Political Leaders Fellowship (EPLF), an initiative of The Bridge Leadership Foundation, is a fully-funded, non-partisan Political Leadership development program that prepares young Nigerians for leadership roles at local, regional, and national levels. The goal of the program is to enhance the quality of Nigeria’s leadership pool and the impact of its developmental interventions.

Over the course of one year, Fellows gain access to tailored content from a carefully curated list of politicians, development experts, historians, civil society leaders, religious figures, advisors, and mentors. The program also provides an opportunity for Fellows to intern with credible past and current politicians, demystifying Nigerian politics.

At the program’s residential Bootcamp, Fellows network, immerse themselves in Nigeria’s federal political ecosystem, meet key decision-makers, and present their capstone projects to panels of seasoned politicians and technocrats. By participating in the Emerging Political Leaders Fellowship, Fellows will be better equipped to take on leadership roles in Nigeria and positively impact the country’s future. The Bridge Leadership Foundation invites young Nigerians to apply for this life-changing program.
