1% of N10m=N100,000 (and Recipients don't even know the amount they're awarded yet). ABA! YouWiN Secretariat! abi na FMF!, enough of those compulsory traveling events/meetings then, and let the disbursement began already!

Just thinking aloud!

Typical Nigerian. Always in a hurry. Have you signed your contract? Have your biometrics been captured? Do you know your financial and employment targets which will be used as milestones for disbursement of tranches?

You just want the government to start sharing the money. Haba!

Oh, stagger! You missed the whole point of my thought, should've read between the lines!

I'm only thinking about them "considering" the financial status of the applicants, many are borrowing these money to go through all these financial implication and some were not even selected. If we call it mindset, we are entitled to our opinions, but we still can't deny the fact that the set of people this programme aims to empowered are largely financially inadequate.

As a provisional awardee, I don't just want the government to start sharing the money! Just thinking a little much more financial consideration will oblige. Personally, I'm not doing badly, I entered an existing business which is generating something to finance the financial implication and can wait however long necessary but stagger, not every applicant is like you and me!

Brother mi,

There was a lot of opposition to this program especially from some of the people who have held Nigerians hostage and who benefit from Nigerians not being empowered. GEJ stood his ground which is why the program stayed. When I see people criticizing him up and down I just laugh.

If he is re-elected (which I pray he is), there is every chance the program will continue, since it is his brainchild. If he loses, the program will be seen as a product of a previous administration and it will be jettisoned.

That is the cold hard fact of Nigerian politics.

You are right.

The opposition does not have a contender that is worthy of the fight. The election is less than 150 days away.

Politics aside, I think this programme has shown that some things can be done in Nigeria that are devoid of corruption. You do not need to know someone in the ministry of finance to have a chance.

Let's pray the scheme is not thrown away

I have told you the line of business I have in mind, please tell me what you think about it.

I have other internet businesses in mind, even businesses that need funding in billions but I want to work with a business that has an easy to understand market and how my business will come in with innovation to an already existing value chain that anyone can easily relate with including the youwin judges at any stage.

WORRIED by their inability to access its loans as a result of badly presented applications, the Bank of Industry (BoI), at the weekend, unfolded plans to partner Business Support firms (BSFs) to drive its intervention agenda in the small and mediumenterprises sector.Besides, the bank also expressed its resolve to explore new funding alternatives in a bid to realise its mandates, following the pressure, which has continued to mount on government’s resources in terms of financing.The bank noted that it was seeking new funds to make impactful contributions to Federal Government’s National Industrial Revolution Plan (NIRP) as well as serve the underserved, particularly the small and medium enterprises.Addressing journalists in Lagos on Friday, the Managing Director, BoI, Rasheed Olaoluwa, noted that the bank was developing strategies to improve stakeholders’ access to funds.“BoI is trying to achieve a balance in its functions as a development finance institution in terms of delivering social impact and maintaining a sustainable loan infrastructure.“We have met with Business Support Firms to address the large percentage of substandard loan applications as we have discovered that a good way out is to engage with BSFs who will receive the applications and help review them as they better understand how a bankable proposal should look like,” he said.He added that the SME sector would receive adequate attention from the development bank and their funding challenges addressedthrough concrete and visible steps.“Although we are confident that key shareholders in the NIRP initiative like the Ministry of Finance Incorporated and the Central Bank of Nigeria CBN, will continue to support the bank with some equity injection, but considering the fact that there is a lot of demand on government’s resources, we are exploring alternative modes of funding such as continuation of sector specific intervention funds by the CBN, Ministry of Agriculture, Solid Minerals and others; managed funds from various state governments and foundations; long-term loans at very low interest rates from multi-lateral/international development institutions,” he said.He added that BoI would also explore domestic and international bond issuance and other sustainable annuity sources that may become statutorily imperative in the medium to long term.He disclosed that in pursuance of the success of President Goodluck Jonathan’s transformation agenda, a major focal point ofthe bank was to help promote employment generation and wealth creation through access to development funds.“We have met with Business Support Firms BSFs to address the large percentage of substandard loan applications as we have discovered that a good way out is to engage with BSFs who will receive the applications and help review them as they better understand how a bankable proposal should look like,” he said.“As you are aware, our Honourable Minister in the Ministry of Industry Trade and Investment, Olusegun Aganga, is leading the efforts to industrialise Nigeria and to create millions of jobs in the process. At BoI, we’re passionate about these objectives,” he said.He said that he had also met and discussed with the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina on issues relating to the various agricultural development funds managed by BoI as part of the minister’s efforts to transform Nigeria’s agricultural sector.“We are in agreement that there is room for wider collaboration between his ministry andBoI, especially in the area of financing the agricultural value chain,” he said.He unfolded the bank’s agenda to pursue good corporate governance; sharp focus on its core mandate; sound risk management and compliance; venture capital investments; partnerships and collaborations; customer service responsiveness and create linkages betweeninnovation and industry.

Denn, is there a conflict of interest with you as regards the CBN/BOI SME funding for the manufacturing sector? You seem to be quiet about info on how it works.

Lol.

Not really. I gave the summary here and also included the main working template from CBN.

I am involved in the CBN MSMEDF and that is why I made it known.

It must be reiterated that it is a lending platform that requires all the normal nuggets of commercial bank lending viz collateral, cash flow, character etc. The main difference is the interest rate (9% p.a.) and the tenor (up to 5 years.)

Existing business with growth trend and collateral can apply.

Normally, every bank with an SME desk should be able to package thr loan but I have found out that the knowledge is not spread.

Incase you are within lagos or ogun axis and you want us to discuss further, I can always be reached via a direct message.

I will leave the banking sector soon and would like to assist as many businesses as I can before I leave.

I have gotten some silent members of this forum hitting me mails on the subject and discussions are ongoing.

Thanks

I have PMed you lol.

There is a better one I think, but I need an experienced hand to help me go through the document. It's a CBN refinancing fund for strictly manufacturers, and I even think it's better than the Youwin. Was done by Sanusi 2010, but you know the way naija is now....info on these kinds of things very very scarce and you just have people in the know getting their people to benefit from it.
