BREAKING NEWS:
YOUWIN 3 AWARDEES PROTEST OVER GROSS NEGLIGENCE BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

News reaching Arise News has it that protest is ongoing right now by the third set of beneficiaries of the highly successful Youth Enterprise With Innovation in Nigeria (YouWiN!) A job creation innovative programme that was a brain-child of Ngozi Okonjo-Iwealla under Goodluck Jonathan administration. The protest is on now at the main gate of the Federal Ministry of Finance, Abuja, Nigeria.

The highly successful scheme that has created thousands of jobs since its inauguration in 2011 has produced three sets of beneficiaries. The first two sets of beneficiaries of the scheme have received all their grants, while the 3rd set that were supposed to receive their grants in three instalments (called tranches) have received first tranche in January 2015. Most second tranches were paid in May, 2015 before the GEJ administration handed over to this present government.

Ever since it had been from one story to another. Most YouWiN awardees have been frustrated as the YouWiN Secretariat always give them vain hope of disbursements of the remaining part of the second tranche and the payments of 3rd tranche that was supposed to be the final tranche payment. This unbearable development has not only handicapped all YouWiN 3 awardees businesses but it has also held them ransom as the continual promises kept all the awardees from looking elsewhere for loan or support.

From our correspondent interaction with some awardees we gathered that The YouWiN! Secretariat was alleged to have blamed the undue delay in paying the awardees on change in policies resulting from change of government. Precisely the bulk of the blame was on the proposed speedy implementation of the TSA.

According to the source that spoke to Arise News correspondent, "between February and early March 2016 a few awardees that were yet to receive their 2nd tranche were slowly paid; still leaving some awardees that were yet to receive their 2nd tranche unpaid. And till now nobody have received anything as 3rd tranche." He lamented.

Also from the confirmed reliable information available to Arise News, the YouWiN programme was jointly sponsored by the the federal government of Nigeria, the World Bank, Julius Berger and some commercial banks in Nigeria.

Arise News also confirmed that before Goodluck Jonathan handed over, all the remaining funds needed to complete all the tranches (payments) was deposited in the different partner commercial banks awaiting approval by the Federal Ministry of Finance for disbursement to the awardees.

When the APC administration took over, rather than giving approval for disbursement to all YouWiN 3 awardees that have satisfactorily met their milestones and recommended for payments; an order was given that all the funds should be unconditionally pushed to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). And that marked the beginning of the ordeal of these young innovative YouWiN 3 awardees that have forced them to sack not fewer than 4,500 of their workers.

The 1,500 third batch beneficiaries of the YouWiN programme have been groaning under the yoke of none payments of their remaining tranches by the government and they said that they have exploited all possible means of dialogue only to keep receiving promises of "Soon" "A couple of weeks" "A few weeks" from the YouWiN Secretariat that always ended up with another promise of "Very soon". This has forced them to adopt the option of a peaceful protest to appeal to the government to fulfil their own part of the contract, since the last administration with the other YouWiN partners including World Bank have made the total funds available before handing over on 29th May, 2016.

An awardee who pleaded anonymous also confirmed to Arise News correspondents that the massive protest is also on going on twitter with the hashtag:
#SaveYouwin3Businesses

i heard but that's bullshit. Since they pay in batches, why didn't they ask for this list weeks ago and pay those who have BVNd first? This administration obviously sees YOUWIN as a PDP thing used to 'settle' PDP youths. They are punishing us....not fault of YOUWIN secretariat anyway

omadolph:
I had an info that you win is waiting for banks to send list of accounts that have updated their bvn. To avoid there money being trapped in the supposed account because of bvn issue. Did any one heard such?

which kain e-mail be this again na?


The YouWiN! Secretariat has been alerted of the activities of some awardees who solicit for funds from fellow awardees in order to act as ‘mediators’ between the awardees, the Federal Ministry of Finance and YouWiN! - Especially on issues of Tranche disbursement.
This is totally unacceptable.

The Secretariat would like to reiterate that every awardee has the right to approach the YouWiN! Secretariat to access information on the status of your tranche disbursement, either physically or through emails and phone calls.

In view of this recent development, awardees are hereby advised to:
- Desist from paying money to anybody on the premise of receiving information on funds disbursement from the YouWiN! Secretariat;
- Report any individual (including awardees or monitors) collecting or soliciting for funds to come to the YouWiN! Secretariat or Ministry of Finance to act as mediators on funds disbursements.

Please note that ANY awardee found indulging in this act of collecting funds from fellow awardees to act as a mediator on funds disbursements will be disqualified from the Programme.

Awardees are encouraged to continue to grow their businesses and maintain the integrity of the YouWiN! Programme even as the Secretariat intensifies efforts to ensure all awardees receive their outstanding tranches.

Thank you.

what does CHELU KA M BIA mean?

Adulphus:
MEEEEEEEEN! AM TIRED MEEEEEEEN!


Though I still think that some people has not linked their account.

Same as I think that unlinked account with BVN can still receive money but will have a withdrawal issue.

So what is keeping the alert from ROLLING?


GOOD NEWS THOUGH!!! THAN TO HEAR CHELU KA M BIA FROM THE FG.

I perceive that thou art a poet

coolk:
Can someone pls help me.
Am having difficulty defining the phrase: "very very soon."
Perhaps I err, but i think 'very very soon' was what jesus told his disciples some 2,016 years ago.
Hmmmm...

I know in my heart that something is going to happen this week. Just as i knew in my heart when i read my email and noted the phrase: next few weeks... That was months ago.

Hmmmm...

I thank those that laboured so we might have renewed hope.

ok thanks

i know 3 awardees friends that were visited in South East b4 Easter break(one is located in Ebonyi,the other two are located in Anambra State). they were all doing well....only one complained they querried him of not invoicing all transactions. i believe Youwin secretariat must have completed the spot checks.Though they assurred them of paying 3rd tranche soon(no expected date )

Hi. Do you know anyone who was visited by Youwin for spot check, what was the experience? Thanks

oceanwhale4u:

Hello sir. Are you talking second or third tranche?

UPDATE
Greetings to all awardees!
As at today awardees have been alerted from ACCESS,ZENITH,DIAMOND,SKY BANKS. There was a little delay with GTB : the problem was that of problem with their mandate and we expect that before the end of next week they will have been alerted.
Stanbic/Uba also is being worked on as the legal clearance by the legal dept is currently ongoing . Once that process is concluded payment will be processed from CBN and they will be paid.
Having engaged the sec and FMF in various letters and meeting with the cooperation?s from awardees OUR PAYMENT HAS RESUMED! It will thus be illogical to continue with our protest as all banks/zones are currently being paid except Stanbic and uba.

THE NATIONAL WORKING COMMITTEE IS THEREFORE SUSPENDING the PROTEST BT WE AT THE CENTRAL WORKING COMMITTEE WILL CONTINUE TO ENGAGE THE SEC AND FMF TO ENSURE SPEEDY RESOLUTION OF STANBIC/UBA ISSUES AND HOPEFULLY PAYMENT WILL BE MADE BY MONTH END
Furthermore we expect SPOT CHECK SOONEST AND WE WILL NOT DEFEND THE FINANCIAL RECKLESSNESS OF ANY AWARDEE : PLS USE UR FUND JUDICIOUSLY AS ITEMISED IN UR BUSINESS MODELS.

Our thanks goes to all awardees who believed in us , trusted us enough to represent them cooperated with us by contributing their widows might ! I PRAY FOR INCREASE AND SUCCESS IN YOUR BUSSINESS ENDEAVOURS.I also want to thank all those who called to give suggestions, criticism, contacts and those who PRAYED FOR our safety as we travelled.
Finally we want to thank all members of the CENTRAL WORKING COMMITTEE EXPECIALLY HANS,DUPSY,CHINYERE,TOPE AND ALL OTHER COMMITTEE MEMBERS . Working with you guys was WONDERFUL ,FRUITFUL AND REWARDING.
God bless you and GOD BLESS NIGERIA!

Beloved, in all we do, let's remember that Youwin reserves the right to continue or terminate the program. We were made to sign in agreement too. Let us not push the new management to invoke that clause. Let's tread carefully. God bless us all

Thanks for the correction.
How do we reach the VIP directly? Pls put us through. We need all necessary information that can help us. My major concern is those who have not received their second tranche.

When those who have received 2nd tranche are now almost running down, how much more those who have not received their second tranche.

Some people's birds are dying. And if more than half of total birds in a poultry die due to inadequate funds it is a tragedy.

Brethren, does anyone have information about the whereabouts a Rivers State awardee of YouWin 3 named OLALEKAN YUSUF? His phone lines have not been going through and he has a lot of cases to answer here in Port Harcourt. He abused the trust of fellow awardees and defaulted on his obligations. I know he follows this thread, and i want to give him the opportunity to right the wrongs he has done before i disclose them publicly. So OLALEKAN YUSUF, if you are reading this, ....... me my ......... pls

Hello Friends. Hope y'all had a nice weekend. We've been making appreciative use of this forum, but i think we can do better. So far we share information, our concerns/fears and words of encouragement. This is only the beginning, as i know we will evolve to offering professional counsel and doing business with each other, even recommending fellow awardees to potential customers. But we won't get there until we start to respect each other and mind the language we use even when angry. So, let's quit the bickerings and bridle our tongues. Thanks. Also, i suggest we appoint/elect administrators for this thread who will promote whatever mutually beneficial opportunities we can leverage on. For instance, members can share educative materials, business opportunities, news that have impact on entrepreneurship locally and globally, and also seek advice on business challenges etc. It's time we give this thread a new direction. God bless you all

lol..........#verylongthing

jeffmyson:


100% true. if that payment do not reach us by close of business tomorrow, we have effectively entered a very LONG THING. its quite disappointing and very unfortunate that for a program that started in 2013 will be left to another Government to either scrap off or complete.

Youwin 3! awardees we have to hold our heart now. the annoying thin is the lack of communications from Youwin Secretariate. from all indications they have made us to loose confidence too in the payment process too.

we have to come together and make a choice now. we have to do something before it is too late. I suggest we organise ourselves State by State and Start Trekking to Abuja and involve the press to cover it. or we might organize ourselves from all the states and converge in Abuja in front of FMF and start keeping vigil until we are paid.

Youwin cannot bring us this far and abandon us on the road.

Soon? Well, is that supposed to be a comforting language? Let them tell us when abeg

sunylee1:
Good news. I called the secretariat. They say 2nd tranche is on process and will be disburses soon.

Well said Denn.......just that i wish i got an IV.

Denn:


Some trainings are too expensive to be for everyone...

Won't be surprised if P & G spends at least 500k on each trainee

when did your friend get the invitation?would have loved to be part of it.but P&G is big enough to reach out to all awardees na.they could have done it like the boot camp.in fact,YouWin should not accept this kind of selective offers.....in the mail they said they will invite us based on their discretion,without any criteria apart from quick response to the survey.its well

Bigboyz32:
Hi pals, It seem like invitations are being issued to lucky awardees for the training to be done in partnership P&G for only 200awardees as sent in an email some days back.
A friend of mine told me he's been invited. Anyone in the house among the lucky 200?

Brethren, any news on Tranche 2?

this thread is not for youwin 4
