Just got news from a fellow awardee that the YouWIN! secretariat is done processing batch 2 for payment, but needs go-ahead from the presidency or approval from the in-coming minister of finance before payment can be effected. I strongly doubt this info is correct cos I want to assume the approval given by NOI before she left covers Tranche 2 payments to all awardees. Anyone received similar info?

sunylee1:

I strongly doubt this info

Mohammed83:
I hope the info isn't right too, but felt I share it. Sunylee1 I thought you were in Batch 1.

sunylee1:

Am in batch 1 and I have been paid but I can't afford to relax until everyone is paid. Am still steadfastly praying for the release of funds for those in batch 2 and everyone that has not been paid.

Mohammed83:
This thread has been so quiet, or am I the only one yet to be paid tranche 2?

wingopride:


Not only you bro, we are now very few that have not been paid....hope this isn't their ploy, to pay many and the little left will have weak voice, hence little noise hence ...I fear for the worst...Hope my fears are not founded, and never should.

Prayer, that is very correct. Infact I was advice by a reliable source to fast and pray because there is something fishy going on...not a joke! If i could have more voluteers who will join me, we can do this together while we still pressure the Secretariat

may be they are waiting for me to write what I wrote before they paid us last time maybe I should do that again bro.

Mohammed83:
Please let's keep bombarding the YouWIN secretariat with emails and phone calls. Also, most importantly CALL NOT EMAIL the secretariat to be sure you have no issues with monitors' reports. To my fellow Muslim awardees Ramadan Mubarak!

alaolani:


PLS DROP THE YOUWIN PHONE NOS. HERE.

I JUST CALLED THE YOUWIN SECRETARIAT ADMIN NO. 09094039795. I politely made my request known to demand the current situation n status of the 2ND BATCH of awardees 2ND TRANCHE, d lady at d other end spoke back to me in a calm manner thus... paraphrasing her.... you know there is a change in government, so that is why everything is being slow, your money is already approved and it is presently being processed for disbursement, relax i assure that you will get your money as soon as possible. '

I also emailed d youwin coordinator three days ago via coordinator@youwin.org.ng (because of frustration of d auto response from d youwin3 email) but am yet to get a reply.

So that is it, we should not LOOSE hope o, there is a wind of hope in the air. But we only need to be optimistic and profess positively and also keep on PRAYING, PRAYING, PRAYING till we see d result. In all I say GOD must WIN o!!! And let s keep on calling, pls dont relent... 09094039795, 08157512826, 08095941711. And emails too, even to d coordinator at coordinator@youwin.org.ng..... when we dont relent, we will surely get our pay as soon as possible.

May the good Lord bless us all youwin3 awardees, bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Nigerians. And pray God to grant d present government to do what is right to the goodwill of Nigerians. AMEN. Peace.

Just called the same line - 09094039795 and got exactly the same response, the only addition was in her exact words 'there is delay at the ministry of finance' which I will like to translate to them waiting for the approval of the in-coming minister of finance.

alaolani:

They may not wait for the approval of the in-coming minister of finance... due to d facts that... 1. The complete youwin 2nd tranche payment has already been approved as a lump sum dat is why any awardee was ever paid 2ND tranche in the first place. it is only our late triggering n not reaching milestone early that is our un-doing in d 2ND batch.... 2. latest news and development is dat d presidency fg has asked all Ministries (as at yesterday) to present their accounts balances, which i believe will either be to our advantage or detriment. To our advantage in the sense dat d finance ministry will earnestly want to disburse all the approved funds (which had prio bn approved by former minister) before handing over d accounts balances (which i also believe may favor them). But to our detriment should d ministry just hand over d accounts balance straightway even with d pending approved funds. I PRAY FOR THE FORMER TO HAPPEN, as d latter really looks scary (should d ministry hand over our money with d accounts balance being requested).. That will really be a 'long story', 'long thing'. GOD FORBID. Our money must be disbursed before the Ministry hand over her balance as requested by the presidency. Infact, this ought to be in our prayer point now. May the good Lord see us through this. GOD Must Surely WIN o ! AMEN. It is well.

wingopride:

Well, I was among those who triggered early and met my mile stone. Infact, my monitor, having learnt that I wasn't paid was surprised 'cos mine was among the first batch she submitted. It couldn't have been due to late triggering.
So the unanswered question still remains...'Why wasn't I and others in my situation paid?' But if by 'triggering late' you mean after swearing, well, then one can but only hope that the president takes a step in our favour, but If anyone triggered before Dr Ngozi left office ( and has met required milestone), Then such a one is entitled to be paid because approval was made and ofcourse she couldn't have approved for some, while leaving some out for no just course! Then why pay some leaving some qualified few out?
Do they need another approval to disburse our fund?
What if PMB nullifies the programe? ( God forbid), what then happened to the 'approved fund' allegedly cooling off in the bank? Will it develop wings, if it does, to which direction would it fly?

sunylee1:
On this thread we had always look up to God during difficulty and He had never let us down.

Though, I have been paid but I cannot leave my fellow awardees that are yet to be paid until we all pray and see God's hand again.

Fellow awardees, can we all fast and pray tomorrow Friday: both those that have been paid and those expecting.
