The Kashim Ibrahim Fellowship (KIF) program is now accepting applications for its 2022 session. The Kashim Ibrahim Fellowship (KIF) is a one-year non-partisan leadership training program for young Nigerians..
Established in 2018, KIF is an initiative of the Kaduna State Government (KDSG). The one year program which aims to create a network of high potential Nigerians who are expected to rise to top leadership positions in the public sector and other spheres of activity over the next decade is named after Sir Kashim Ibrahim, the first post-independence Governor of the Northern Region (1962-1966) who was known for his passion for education and selfless leadership which he demonstrated not only as Governor but also as a Minister at various times.
The objective of the KIF is to develop and nurture leadership ability across Nigeria, with a specific focus on the promising leaders of the future. It is our belief that this one-year program would help establish a strong understanding of good governance in Fellows in addition to providing a structure that would help steer them towards active participation in and a commitment to public service and informed leadership in Nigeria.
