eugene77: APC & lies is just like bread & butter. The govt has not paid the Youwin3 awardees ooooo! I know so many Youwin3 awardees who are bn owed their 2nd & 3rd tranches. These guys are truly doing well in their various businesses but I don't know why the present govt refused to pay up their merritted state-up grants but decide to tell lies to the world. Pls, Buhari & Adeosun should pay & encourage these guys in their brave efforts to curb unemployment to the bearest minimum in this country. Any furhter delay to settle these young & vibrant entreprenuers will be a regarded as sabotage to the Nigerian Youths.

The Federal Government is set to start consultations with beneficiaries and other stakeholders on the restructuring and refocusing of the multi-billion Naira Youth Enterprise with Innovation in Nigeria (YouWin) programme with the objective of injecting new ideas for its sustainability. The Federal Ministry of Finance, which has been running the programme from inception, has scheduled the consultation for July 22, 2016 in Abuja, where representatives of the beneficiaries drawn from the six-geo-political zones and other stakeholders would chart a way forward for the programme.
Under the programme which took off in 2011, a total of 18, 000 young entrepreneurs have been trained in various aspects of Small and Medium Enterprises management and business skills; and 3, 900 of them, including 1, 200 women, were each given non-repayable take-off grants for businesses of their choice ranging from N1 million up to a maximum of N10 million.
The third edition of the programme, which is still running with 1,500 beneficiaries, has received the sum of N11.2 billion in funding, and so far grants totaling N7.4 billion have been disbursed to the awardees. In June 2016 alone, the sum of N1.687 billion was paid to 638 awardees.
The Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, said that as part of the change agenda of the current administration, the YouWin programme has to be restructured to ensure efficiency, transparency and accountability in investing the capital grants given to the beneficiaries by the Federal Government.
Mrs Adeosun confirmed that all FG commitments under the YouWIN programme will be fully met, but due diligence would be carried out on every beneficiary, using tools like the Bank Verification Number (BVN), and before disbursements.

Fellow Nigerians I would be brief on this.
Please disregard the claims that the federal government has paid that gargantuan sum of money to YouWiN! awardees.
In the real sense of it, there has been Three YouWiN! editions so far. The first and second editions have been paid while the third edition are still left to be paid in full.
There are 1500 winners in the third edition and by the grace of God, I am one of them. The YouWiN! fund has helped me to own and run a concrete block industry in Lagos.
I could also tell you that since September 2014 when the YouWiN! 3 finalist came out, the YouWiN! secretariat has been telling us stories. while tranches have not been fully paid.
To know what's trending about the YouWiN! 3 edition, you may need to search for #YouWiN3Awardees and #SaveYouWiN3Businesses on twitter. I pledge to be a good ambassador of the YouWiN! initiative.
Thank you. 2 Likes 1 Share |

cnwokike: Federal Government has paid the sum of N1.6bn to 638 awardees of the Youth Enterprise with Innovation in Nigeria, YouWin, programme, an initiative of the past government. There have been fears about the government of President Muhammadu Buhari scrapping the programme, with series of protests over the delay in grants.
But Na’inna Dambatta, director of information at the ministry of information, said the money was paid in June.
He said under the programme which took off in 2011, a total of 18, 000 young entrepreneurs were trained in management and business skills for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
Dambatta said 3, 900 of the trainees, including 1, 200 women, were each given non-repayable take-off grants ranging from N1 million to a maximum of N10 million for businesses of their choice.
“The third edition of the programme, which is still running with 1,500 beneficiaries has received the sum of N11.2 billion in funding,” he said in a statement.
“So far, grants totaling N7.4 billion have been disbursed to the awardees.”
Kemi Adeosun, minister of finance, said the current administration was set to restructure the programme in line with its “change” agenda.
Adeosun said the restructuring would ensure efficiency, transparency and accountability in investing the capital grants given to the beneficiaries.
She added that all the commitments made by the federal government under the YouWIN programme would be fully met.
She said every beneficiary would be duly verified, using tools like bank verification number (BVN), before disbursements.
The minister said the federal government would begin consultations with the beneficiaries and other stakeholders of the programme to inject new ideas for its sustainability.
According to the statement, the ministry of finance, which has been running the programme from inception, will hold the consultation on July 22 in Abuja.
Winners of the third edition of the programme, earlier this month, stormed the headquarters of the ministry to protest the delay in the payment of their grants.

I have argued so many times that YOUWIN was one of the best program the GEJ administration initiated. But i wanted this government to restructured the grant inform of loan because people always take free things for granted and i also want the program to be strictly for university graduates only and allow them to use their certificates as collateral just to simplify the process. |

[quote author=EbukaLive post=47021025] Please sir, you quoted the whole article sir. Can I ask you a simple question sir? Did you read the whole article or just the headline sir. Eh sir, looking forward to hearing back from you sir...[/quote
I'm sure you've heard the saying "he who wears the shoe knows where it bites"... ... like I said, I'm an awardee. Firstly, I can tell you the headline is false.. the number of awardees approved isn't 638 but 680. Secondly, even out of these approved awardees that the government has claimed that 1. 6 billion has been paid to, not even up to 50 or 60 have been paid. So I can tell you that both the headline and every other claim about payment in the story is false. As I speak to you there are many awardees who haven't even received their 2nd tranche payment. |
