In the 2nd quarter of 2016 we got our confirmation letters as participants in the YIEDP programme and it felt like our lives were definitely going to change for good. There were lots of prospects inspired during the preparatory stages of this YIEDP. However the joy and excitement of reaching this milestone seem to be dissipating by the day. During the screening exercise we were made to prepare feasible business plan that we were to implement soon as we were mobilized. We went all out to do an extensive business plan with the prevailing cost of things in the market to enable us hit the ground running as soon as the funds are released. It is worrisome to note that the business plans were submitted about a year ago and that the cost of virtually every item on the plan has gone up as a result of the hyper inflation in the country. These facts are very well documented in the periodic reports of the National Bureau of Statistics. In view of this position, it is our earnest plea that these factors be considered. Another disturbing issue is the fact that our lives have been put on hold for almost a year as the originals of our NYSC and university certificates were submitted to the bank as collateral. This has deprived us of other opportunities out there waiting to be explored. It is most unfair and unjust to have us wait for unending months without funds to kick off the projects while our meal tickets remained trapped within the bank's closets. "Your concerns are well noted and would be addressed accordingly" this is the only feedback we have gotten from the facilitators of this scheme, more than a thousand times. Our plight is further worsened by the fact that most of the participants had to resign from their previous engagements because we felt the YIEDP was going to be the game changer in our lives. Of course things changed, but not for the better as promised by the facilitators As it stands, most of us are already in debt because of the demanding conditions attached to obtaining the funds to kick start our projects, yet we have been able to satisfy all conditions. Who do we turn to? Why toil with the destinies of passionate Nigerian Youths. Most of us have lost the properties we intend using to implement our business plans because the landlords are tired of waiting for us to mobilize. Inflation has taken its toll on our business plans yet to be implemented. In view of the foregoing, I sincerely urge the authorities to do an upward review of the funds to be disbursed and expedite the disbursement process and at least give us a specific date & time frame for disbursement so we can get on with other aspects of our lives.
