Afara Initiative 2024 Bridge Fellowship Programme.

The Bridge Program is a highly selective fellowship that identifies and develops change-makers to build Nigeria’s leadership capacity across sectors. The fellowship begins with a four-week intensive boot-camp followed by a lifetime of training, mentorship, access to resources and opportunities to forge a successful leadership journey. Each year, we welcome 50 high potential young leaders who are in their first or second years of university to join the network. The Bridge fellows become part of a large network of future leaders and nation builders that will take bold steps to transform Nigeria’s economy.
