SIR: I wonder why some citizens and some states of Nigeria are not benefitting from the federal government empowerment scheme: (YOUWIN) www.youwin.org.ng. This programme was established to finance and assist the youth in creating job opportunities for themselves and others in the country. This is a good idea from the federal government; the young folks were so happy for this innovation. Most youths from every states of the country registered on the site in other to enjoy this benefit from the federal government
My greatest surprise is that many were notified that they won and the winners were given some certain sums of money to empower them, but some states were exempted, including Ekiti. Is Ekiti State not part of Nigeria? Some of the youths there were notified that they won in the programme; the YOUWIN representative came to Ekiti State to meet the winners there. The winners were given a shirt, a jotter and a pen and with the promise by the representatives that they would be back in a short time to empower them financially.
After a year, they came (October 2013), with the expectation of empowering the young folks there. They were given a certificate that they had participated in the YOUWIN programme instead of empowering them. They even took their photographs as if they had given them money.
Mr President, no youth in Ekiti State has benefitted from your administration’s YOUWIN programme. Please note sir.
