God bless YOUWIN awardees

For those of us in south east,Access bank plc is bound to frustrate our efforts.The bank is inefficient and ineffective but we must not allow them.Pls lets us all storm the bank branches in owerri,enugu,umuahia,abakiliki and onitsha to disturb them 2moro untill they answer us.

My fellow YOUWIN awardees,i got this mail from the national coordinator of YOUWIN,Dr Supo Olusi and am touched by this mail.Pls lets spend these funds judiciously on our business and create jobs for other Nigerians.As i speak to you,the program is under attack.We must sustain this program through projecting good image of it.No spending on luxury.We shall put the critics wrong.Pls lets all rise to the challenge.We wish you all well.

Dear xxxxxxxxxxx
M&E ID xxxxxxxxxx


It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the year 2015. On behalf of the YouWin Secretariat I wish you the best this year has to offer.

As we progress with the implementation of the program, i want to use this opportunity to intimate you on some of the activities planned for the year in the hope that we can build on the successes we have so far recorded.

First, we believe it will be beneficial for YouWin awardees to be better connected to one another and to other trade networks locally and globally. To this end, we are developing an online platform (YouWiN!Connect) aimed at creating a market place that will foster trade and investment for YouWiN! beneficiaries. In similar spirit, we are planning trade fairs and exhibitions that will showcase the best of youwin products and services to potential investors and trade partners. More details will be provided as we move along.

Second, with the support of development partners and some Multinational Companies, there are opportunities for YouWin awardees to undertake sector specific training programs, both locally and internationally. These special capacity building programs will help enhance your expertise in product development so that you can compete better in the market place.

Third, for those who show strong growth and job creation potential, the YouWin SME Growth Fund will commence the process of investing in the expansion of such companies. This is a highly competitive process but i want to encourage awardees to apply.

I want to use this opportunity to appeal for your cooperation in completing the periodic surveys sent out by the YouWiN! Secretariat in a timely manner. These surveys help us to monitor progress of your business and to plan various interventions to support awardees. Please note you are committed to provide periodic updates about your business as stipulated in your legal agreement. A survey was deployed a few days ago; please check your email and complete it if you are yet to do so.

YouWiN! is a government program that many Nigerian youth have benefitted from. So i will like you to be a good ambassador for the program and to present the facts and success stories to the Public when necessary. Some recent articles in newspapers ( http://www.punchng.com/i-punch/okonjo-iwealas-youwin-project-a-failure-graduates/ ) have deliberately misrepresented facts on the program with a view to undermining the implementation of the program. I want to encourage you to actively respond to such articles that present wrong information on YouWin.

Finally, let me remind you to continue to use the award funds in a manner that the President would be proud of. You will recall that Mr. President has emphasized job creation as the main objective of the program at the launch of each edition. I look forward to receiving more reports showing your sustained performance on the youth employment front and also success stories about your business (successstories@youwin.org.ng).

Thank you and best regards.

Dr Supo Olusi

YouWiN! Coordinator

Access bank is the most useless bank i have ever set my eyes on.After 2months of account opening.They are telling us that our CAC search result has not come.When others are talking of alert,we are talking of account opening documents.God save us.

Hello,it does not matter if it is new or existing business.What matters is the quality of your plan.Write a bankable plan.Its a competition and so there is no room for an enemy called average.wish u success.

I am quite sure that the first tranche will come but am not sure of is the time.pls my fellow awardees,lets be guided on our use of words.However,past awardees who are telling us to exercise patience and wait should know that no edition has gone through the waiting game like youwin 3.Other edition are paid first tranche before the launching of the next edition.thanks.

pls are u in Abia state.The awardees are in Abia state.

The awardees are in the south east.

I have asked one of them to paste the mail here for other awardees to see.

The mail contains names of their mentor and other details about the mentoring program

Awardees in Agric got mail from youwin yesterday.3 awardees have acknowledged dat they got the mail.

pls house,did anyone else get mail from YOUWIN on names and other details of mentors?A friend told me that he got that yesterday.infact,2 mails.

Pls any awardee with Access bank corporate account should help me with reference.2015 will surely smile on you as u help me.God is watching.

PLS YOUWIN 1 AND 2 IN IMO STATE SHOULD HELP US WITH REFERENCE.GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

I wish you all merry xmas and prosperous 2015

I need to be battle ready.

I need to collect my cheque book before january,2015

Please fellow awardees,make una help me with Access bank reference.

pls,am ready to sign for awardees who are in need of gtb reference but you should also assist me in getting one or two Access bank reference to pick up my cheque book.i need to withdraw my cash next week.am into bus transportation.by January 1,2015,the costs of vehicles will go up by by 35% due to the new automobile policy to be introduce by FGN.

YOUWIN asked them to send all accounts and numbers on or before friday,12/12/2014 for tranche 1 processing.They also warned that many of us cant access their accounts this year because of incomplete account opening.For those of us in Owerri,Accessbank asked us to bring reference from Access bank in order to pick up our chequebook.pls any awardee with existing current account even if it is individual current account.

bamistol was right.i was at Accessbank and they told me that our first tranche will hit our accounts on monday or tuesday.

bamistol,pls be assured that your account has been opened but you cant access the account until the search is completed.pls you have to let them know how important it is to have it done on time.best of lucks.

I didn't the mail though my account is not fully ready cos my reference is still pending.but u think money can be paid in but I cant withdraw.

The acessbank,branch mgr,Owerri,mrs Ijeoma was not treating us like YOUWIN awardees.she was not supportive,accomodating and helpful.she insisted on 10k and 2references or the account won't be opened.She is on leave but her subordinates are afraid to even attend to us.

Accessbank asked me on Monday to bring same bank reference to pick up my cheque book immediately but I have tried without result.pls any awardee knows how I can get Accessbank corporate account reference.am in Owerri.in case any awardee needs gtb reference,don't hesitate to contact me on 08176274156.God will surely do it this year.

God will surely do it for us.i think the mail was sent to few awardees.a friend called me to check my mail but I did but I couldn't find the mail.i guess awardees are selected randomly or those who haven't started the process.
