I am seeing all this after I v spent over 30k for police clearance. It will never be well with ppl that masterminded this

HRprof:
He is asking of Federal Government intervention fund, specifically for Covid 19 loan for youth interventions programme which has different policy from General loan. You are given him General loan information.

@OP, what's the terms of repayment . Repayment period and interest rate? And amount given, I heard about it but I'm scared of applying some people thought the money is free, read the policy properly before applying because you must repay back even if is coming from federal government of Nigeria

Mekzmoney:
Please I've been approved for this CBN covid-19 loan through Nirsal MFB yesterday but so scared to fill my details and collect the loan.. Is there any implications if I default? . I also need to understand the interest rate because it was confusing when I checked last year. I'm always scared of getting a loan to start a new business. Please help a friend.

Maturedconnect:
please who can help me on CAC registration ?

Bravo121:
You didn't see any option where you can select that because, like you stated in the second paragraph you can clearly see your centre on your dashboard which means you selected your centre long before now. The dialogue box should only pop up if you haven't selected it yet.

bb12008:
Do we have guys who attended the ptdf 2018 germany/france/china scholarship interview and still got selected in UK application?
I guess candidates who got recommended for G/F/C scholarships might not be shortlisted for Uk to avoid other people chance.

MINUTES OF MEETING BETWEEN FADAMA GUYS AND FADAMA III AF GUYS TEAM HELD AT THE FADAMA HOUSE, ABUJA ON THE 21ST OF MARCH, 2018

(1. OPENING PRAYERS: A Christian prayer was said by FD GUYS Rita while the Muslim was said by FDGUYS Aminu respectively.

(2. The chairman FADAMA GUYS Team committee opened the floor by apologizing on behalf of other staff that supposed to be on sit but absent, he cited official trips as the reason for their absenteesm but one Mr. Alabi for his strategic position, had promised to speak to us through phone call before the end of the meeting. He then directed that GUYS should commence presentation of their case and reasons for their visit through their Representative (Mr. Innocent).

GUYS SPEECH
A prepared speech was delivered by Mr. Innocent on behalf of GUYS nationwide. The content of the speech was made up of complimentary and commendation to the FADAMA management and staff for the job Well done so far since the inception of the program. He thanked the President of Nigeria and all other stakeholders for designing a laudable program like this for the Yout. He emphasized why the program is very crucial to job creation and food security in Nigeria. He expressed the concerns and worries of FADAMA GUYS as:
(1) The reasons responsible for the long communication gap between the FADAMA GUYS Team and GUYS.
(2) The reasons for the delay in the disbursement of funds.

COMMENTS, RESPONSE AND REACTIONS from FADAMA GUYS Team.

.........MR. BALARABE
He appreciated our efforts in convening the meeting and applauded it is a great one, but noted that the GUYS delegates do not represent evenly across the geopolitical zones of Nigeria. He suggested at least one delegate from a zone. He said initially, the program was designed for Six (6) States with the intention of drawing 300 participants from each State to make up a total of 1800 participants but took their own intervention and efforts to extend it to the current 23 States. He berated some GUYS threatening to stage protest, stressing that if they stop the program at this stage, the objective had been achieved. He gave selection and training of participants in agribusiness as the core objectives. He latter made an appeal to the GUYS to exercise patience as they too are at work to ensure the execution of the program to the letter. He mentioned different programs and interventions of FADAMA and made us to know that the money in their purse presently is meant for other programs and not GUYS but efforts are under way to transfer some funds to the GUYS programs account because each program has its own account.
........... The committee chairman came in to corroborate Mr. Balarabe's claim by saying letters have been written to the concern authorities and the process is ongoing........

........MR. WAMBAI....... He said he had made series of appeal to us to calm down and exercise patient, and that he had also warned us not do to what can make the management to turn it back to the program. That the program can be stopped with flimsy excuses as reasons and nothing will happen. He again reiterated that we will soon begin to smile if we can be patient with them.
.........Mr. Tony in his speech brutally and frankly told us that as to the time for disbursement, no guarantee of anytime from them but only assured that the execution of the program will come to being.

..........Another Senior member of the Team spoke in response to what was mentioned in INNOCENT's speech that some of us have spent money on some fixed assets like land, shops etc in readiness for the execution of the program. He said it point and clear to us that any loss incurred is at our own Pery and FADAMA is not going to take any responsibility. That we should have tarried a little bit to see that the execution has commenced before we begin to acquire any capital asset. He supported his point with a Yoruba adage which means "we should have waited for the down pour before turning away old water in our pots". He told us the delay is not intentional, that they too never expected things to turn out this way. He also reiterated that FADAMA is a very reputable Organization that is known for its integrity and can always be taken for its word. He then pointed out that the delay may now afford them the opportunity to fish out the Unserious minded amongst GUYS.

........Prof. Alabi's call came in as earlier promised. He emphasized that they are interested to know what measures GUYS are putting in place to curb up those amongst us with the intention of receiving the money and go in cover. He said it is important for us to show some commitments and supports to the effort they are making to checkmate them.
In reaction to that, one of us, Comrade Oris responded swiftly to the point raised by Prof. Alabi saying that the stringent measures taken by NFCO in the bank accounts opened by GUYS for this purpose is a good one, as no GUYS can make withdrawal from the account on his or her own will without the consent of the SPCs. He also said to checkmate the excesses by GUYS themselves cannot be as easy because there is no mechanism seton ground to do that for now.

....... Rita Rep Abuja reacted to the issue raised by Mr. Balarabe that if the program is stopped now, they have achieved the objective. She said we were not told that the program is meant for just to train us and leave us to our faith. Instantly, the man denied. He now said he was just trying to let us know that not a some money they have spent to train us and he expected we should appreciate it.
..........Another GUY raised issue of counterpart funding but it was immediately refuted unanimously by all of them that issue of counterpart funding is not in any way applicable to GUYS' program.

...... We were told at the commencement of the meeting that the National Coordinator would join us before the end of the meeting but he never showed up.

.......CONCLUSION.........
(1. They threatened that protest can not bring us any good
(2. That letters have been written to the appropriate quarters to request approval for moving funds from other FADAMA's projects accounts to GUYS' account to ensure adequate fund for disbursement.
(3. That the disbursement may now happen in stages as they are receiving funds
(4. That they are on top of our case, assuring it must come to being.
(5. That we should exercise patience.

........Closing prayers byYakubu Wambai (Muslim) and Mr. Tony (Christian) from the members of staff respectively .

Thank you and God bless.
..........by TOSIN OMOTOSO, Adhoc Secretary of GUYS National Committee.

Starke:
Please where did you get this info from?. I have gone through the threads for previous winners and I didn't see any indication that 5000 were shortlisted in the other years. Apparently 1300 were shortlisted and they were all paid. Besides I watched an interview where Mrs. K Adeosun was explaining the fact that they are increasing the number this year and generally improving the program. Please can yhu provide an authentic source of this your comment or stop peddling unverifiable information.

god2good:
Ekiti is here

MDDarah84:
The portal has been updated including the training date n venue.Waiting for training requirements.....my question guys is that,would there be stipends at the end of the training?

Heezishades:
I am a little bit confused here. I stand to be corrected but Each state had 300 successful candidates. So does it mean that in each state, all 300 candidates will presumably start training on the same date? Won't that be unorganised and crowded?

olugbure1:
What kind of training are they going to give us that will take upto 250k. Are they sending us for M.Sc or PHD ni

shariff84:
i got the information from the farm where fadama people normally used for two weeks to give training.noted:fadama people normally used to recruitment people but via forms at local government sectarial,and they used to give 100k per participant.this is the 1st time of recruiting via internent and 1million was set aside for every participant but 250k will go for training each person and 750k will left.
