[7/5, 6:08 PM] Mrs Gladys Alex: *Be informed that Minister of Finance has approved the letter for Virement and our names have been verified by the Presidency for Disbursement.*
This is the latest from Fadama.
I will urge GUYS to give Fadama the benefit of the doubt and continue to exercise patience in the interim.
However, if no disbursement this July, GUYS will go full blast and press every necessary button to ensure disbursement.
[7/5, 6:09 PM] Mrs Gladys Alex: [05/07 15:34] ‪+234 703 671 4850‬: A guy from Ondo State who reside in Abuja went to FADAMA office in Abuja today. He saw the newly pasted compiled list concerning FADAMA GUYS and he said according to them we should be expecting alert any moment from next week. That Ministry of Finance has Signed the request to move fund.
[05/07 15:35] ‪+234 703 671 4850‬: They State Coordinator, speaking authoritatively said that the approval has been given by Ministries concerned.
[05/07 15:35] ‪+234 703 671 4850‬: Therefore, anytime from now the alert will start rolling in.

Hmmm nd I jst lost my 32years old lovely sister.

How much is d machine pls

I write to acknowledge your mail on the Fadama GUYs program. I quite appreciate your position especially as we approach the raining season. I would like to assure you that the Fadama Office has concluded all arrangement for disbursement. However, there is need to process a reallocation of fund to enable them fund the activities under the relevant Grant Category. This is taking some time but there seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel. The Federal Ministry of Finance contacted me yesterday and I should be expecting the letter any time this week. Once we process the request for reallocation within the Bank, the National Office will be able to disburse fund to the beneficiaries.

 

Let me assure you that we are committed to making a success of the Fadama GUYs initiative.

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.

Thanks buh in fishery, the tranches to be given out is written in the standadized module.
It is in 3 tranches
Do you still advised I go for this 80% of the total amount

yep

*For those who are still having issues with filling their forms, I have the following info from my SPC which I think applies nationally*

*ARTICLE 10*

*Total Sum* = IDA(varies according to enterprise) + Beneficiary Contribution(375,075.00 fixed for all enterprise)

*Tranche No. 1* = 80% of Total Sum(i.e Total Sum × 0.

*Tranche No. 2* = 20% of Total Sum(i.e Total Sum × 0.2)

The test of accuracy in this mathematics is that at the end of the day, if your mathematics is right; *Tranche No. 1* will give you the same figure as that of IDA Fund while *Tranche No. 2* will give you the same figure with Beneficiary Contribution.

*Happy Calculation!*

.............

*ARTICLE 29(L) ADDRESSES FOR DELIVERY OF COMMUNICATIONS* 

Write the address of your SFCO.

Your SPC will input his/her Contact Phone Number and E-mail Address.
