The Obafemi Awolowo Foundation announced the opening of applications for the Future Leaders Fellowship, a merit-based leadership initiative designed to cultivate new ethical visionary leaders across Africa, the Caribbean, and the global diaspora. The fellowship, inspired by the legacy of Chief Obafemi Awolowo (1909-1987), aims to equip young people aged 20 to 35 with the skills and values necessary for impactful leadership.
The program will run for eight weeks, starting on October 4, 2026, with virtual sessions scheduled every Saturday from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM Nigeria time. The foundation emphasizes that admission to the fellowship is strictly merit-based, requiring applicants to submit a personal statement and provide two references as part of the selection process.
Applications will close on August 31, 2026. Interested candidates can apply through the foundation's online portal and can seek further information by contacting the program coordinator via email.
