Pls hw can one start/go abt dis youwin stuff

This is sort of the wrong place to seek advice. The people here are mostly winners and are eagerly awaiting first tranche payment-in other words, they do not have your time.

Read from here backwards, look for Ciscaos, that lady is an angel. Call her and you will be happy you got to know her. She rarely visits here so if you quote her, she will hardly reply.

Hello house. I promised to update, yes but activity was too much and moreso the banquet hall was demobilised and you can only get to make use of phone at the toilet which looks suspicious plus the sss even patrols d toilet too. But i am happy cos a friend's txt delivered telling me that its live on tv cos he saw me.
Salient point are
1. GEJ is happy with awardees cos they did not disappoint him and his govt which has done this ever in the history of our nation.
2. He said his govt has raised the future leaders of nigeria and its economy as he is sure that the future Dangotes, Adenugas etc are seated amongst us.
3. Our tranche 1 would soon be paid out which was formerly said by NGOZI.
4. He launched youwin4 and youwinsmegrowthfund which is to be accssed by new and existing biz mostly into manufacturing and production of innovative products. He stressed that some of us would benefit and would be joined by some new people too. So it seems its meant for high performing awardees and other high performing business men.

Pls permit me to rest and continue tomorrow. Its an awesome event

that material is very helpful and comprehensive. It gives even a first time applicant a sound understanding for him/her to work independently without pursuing people up and down to help them and those who will want to charge money.

Jaiyeola Andrews and James Emejo in Abuja
President Goodluck Jonathan monday inaugurated a $50 million private equity fund for the expansion of business opportunities by the small and medium enterprises in order to boost job creation in the country.

Jonathan also launched the fourth phase of the Youth Enterprise with Innovation in Nigeria (YouWin) programme to boost entrepreneurship development and create more jobs for youths and accelerate economic development.

At the inauguration, the president expressed the federal government’s concern about businesses affected by militancy and acts of terrorism in the recent past. He added that the interventions would heal their wounds and revive their businesses.
According to Jonathan, the fund would help accelerate the growth of SMEs and economic development.

He explained that the fourth edition of the YouWin programme was approved following the enthusiastic response of youths to the scheme and the impressive level of success so far achieved by beneficiaries.
He noted that unemployment still constituted a big challenge not only in Nigeria, but for governments around the world, pointing out that no real development could occur without jobs.

Jonathan disclosed that his administration had put several initiatives in place to create jobs, chief of which was the YouWin scheme, where training and monetary support had been given to youths with innovative business ideas to improve their lives and create jobs in the economy.

He also revealed that over 22,000 jobs had been created alongside other indirect employments through the first phase of the YouWin intervention, adding that the fourth phase is expected to create additional 44,000 jobs.

According to the president, the venture capital support would have unprecedented impact on SMEs sector if government could work with other investors to meet the objectives of the fund.

Essentially, the fund is to be used to support few existing YouWin businesses which have the potentials for further expansion and job creation.
He also promised to ensure that the venture capital fund is void of interference by ensuring those who qualify get fundings on merit and not on man-know-man basis.

Furthermore, he said both the YouWin and venture capital support would further boost the creativity of young Nigerians.
The new enterprise fund, he added, would enable those that had won previous grants from the YouWin programme take their businesses to the next level.

According to Jonathan, the fund which needed a seed capital of about $50million would require hard work on the side of government.
Jonathan said if government strives hard, it could attract more investors to contribute to ongoing efforts no matter how small.

"This fund will identify and further empower a few of you, some who are here and some new people that will join us, that are interested in expanding what they already have through the you win or even starting new businesses”, Jonathan said.

“You will not need to know somebody to access it. Hopefully when the disbursement of the third phase commences and by the time the fourth phase takes we are expecting a minimum of would have had 44,000 jobs created by young Nigerians for young Nigerians. Eighteen thousand who did not directly benefit from the scheme were trained and were able to access fund from different sources”, he stressed.

That is what it should be, anybody expecting you to answer all the questions for them while they paste it is just out of their minds. Such activity will be futile because they won't be able to defend what they have written.

I have no choice, I am an entrepreneur and I have tasted freedom. I can not go back to 8-5 job unless the salary is outrageously high. If people applying are unable to co-ordinate themselves just like it was done here, then it is a pity.

I already have a template to work with, I am just finalizing price checks for my equipment and hopefully by tomorrow I will start filling my application.

He doesn't need to hide any thread. Any of the youwin 4 thread that gains traction will automatically draw everybody. The others will die a natural death when nobody patronises.
