The recruitment process for the Lateef Jakande Leadership Academy (LJLA) 2026/2027 Fellowship Programme has advanced to the Computer-Based Aptitude Test (CBT) stage, as shortlisted candidates across Nigeria begin assessments for the prestigious leadership initiative.
Eko Hot News reports that the aptitude test marks a significant phase in the selection process, providing candidates with an opportunity to demonstrate the skills and competencies required for progression to the next stage of the Fellowship Programme.
The assessment is being conducted through both physical and virtual formats to accommodate applicants from different parts of the country and ensure broad participation in the exercise.
According to organisers, the CBT is designed to evaluate candidates’ verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, and logical thinking abilities, which are considered essential for leadership development and public service excellence.
Participants are also being assessed on their knowledge of current affairs, reflecting the programme’s focus on nurturing informed and forward-thinking leaders capable of addressing contemporary governance challenges.
The aptitude test serves as a key screening mechanism in identifying candidates who possess the analytical, critical-thinking, and problem-solving skills needed to thrive in the highly competitive fellowship programme.
The Lateef Jakande Leadership Academy continues to attract applications from talented young Nigerians seeking to contribute meaningfully to governance, policy development, and public sector transformation.
Successful candidates from the CBT stage will proceed to subsequent phases of the recruitment process as the Academy works towards selecting the next cohort of fellows for the 2026/2027 programme.
Since its establishment, the LJLA Fellowship Programme has remained committed to developing a new generation of leaders equipped with the knowledge, values, and practical experience required to drive sustainable development and impactful governance across Nigeria.
The ongoing assessment underscores the Academy’s dedication to maintaining a transparent and merit-based selection process while identifying individuals with the potential to become transformational leaders in their communities and beyond.
