About 539 out of 1,200 winners from the first batch of the Youth Enterprise With Innovation in Nigeria (YOUWIN) who had completed validation requirements and have been paid their first tranche by the participating banks.

Speaking, the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala stated that the “Jonathan administration recognizes that the unemployment rate in Nigeria is unacceptable, and must be addressed as a matter of national priority, and has made job creation central to the transformation agenda.”

A statement by the Project Coordinator, Dr. Supo Olusi, said funds would be paid in tranches over a period of 12 to 18 months.

okoji: @egift what do you mean by sponsored candidates? I know a lot of the final awardees and the whole process was free and fair. There was nothing like special candidates. All 1200 candidates got there on merit based on their ideas. Pls don't belittle their effort.

bigx:

1200 can create jobs for some of those millions directly and indirectly while the rest of the "millions" can create jobs for themselves and others without waiting for Government

sholatech: Confirmed!another batch expecting payment this week!

yelanst: @egift and lacasa,
I cannot vouch for the credibility of the YouWIN program but i can testify to the fact that my emergence as a winner was based on a fair playing ground and likewise some of my colleagues.I applied for this program at Tel Aviv, Isreal, and returned to Abuja,Nigeria, sometimes last year upon an invitation by YouWIN to attend a compulsory 4-days business training after which i shuttled back to Tel Aviv.It was in that foreign land that i received a notification as one of the winners.
I received my first tranche payment 3 weeks ago and I am presently in Nigeria together with my Jewish partners to start up a mini-Refinery in Port-Harcourt.
.
Very soon i will start my recruitment process and will advertise it on this land, so the engineers in the house should be vigilant.

Hello Yelanst
My partner and I also won the grant purely on merit. Very much interested in your refinery business. Pls contact me if you need partners,thanks

egift: Good for them. My only worry from the beginning is that most of the final recipients may have been "sponsored" candidates. While 1200 is little, hope the succeed in various ventures.

@ YELANST & EMMAX2ALFA

Greetings to you two.

Abeg for those of us doubting Thomases, please tell how much your first installment payment was and the mode of payment (cash, cheque, bank transfer etc).




In addition, please tell us the total amounts the Government will pay you and what the payment plan is (amounts and scheduled payment times).

Thank you and God Bless you.

You only need to check my previous comments on youwin to answer your questionable questions.
I am a
what do you mean "confirmed"??
Are you an authority? are you presenting or citing any document or reference to that effect??
Sorry, I don't mean to deride you, but i have to correct you. Unless you meet any of the above criteria, you are not in any position to confirm any matter. Just letting you(and nairalanders) know.
