Our 2026 Fellows

The 3rd Cohort of the FATE Institute Fellowship Programme attracted over 400 applications from Nigerians across the country and the diaspora, reflecting a strong and growing commitment to shaping the future of entrepreneurship in Nigeria.

Following a rigorous and highly competitive selection process, shortlisted candidates advanced through an intensive Selection Boot Camp and interview stage designed to assess their policy insight, leadership capacity, and commitment to driving meaningful change.

At the end of this process, five exceptional individuals emerged, each distinguished by their expertise, vision, and dedication to strengthening Nigeria’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.

We are proud to introduce the Cohort 3 Fellows, Class of 2028.
