Applications are now for the Bridge Leadership Foundation Emerging Political Leaders Fellowship. The Bridge Leadership Foundation established the Emerging Political Leaders Fellowship.
It is a fully funded, nonpartisan political leadership development project that fosters and educates young Nigerians for leadership at the local, regional, and national levels, thereby improving the country’s overall leadership quality.
Fellows receive specialized information throughout the year from a carefully curated collection of Politicians, Development Experts, Historians, Civil Society Leaders, Religious Figures, Advisors, and Mentors.
The residential Bootcamp serves as a melting pot for Fellows to network, immerse in Nigeria’s federal political ecosystem, meet key decision-makers and present their capstone projects to several panels of seasoned Politicians and Technocrats.
The Emerging Political Leaders Fellowships also gives Fellows the opportunity to demystify Nigerian politics by pairing them with credible past and serving Politicians through the program’s mentoring initiative at the Bootcamp.
