The Youth Economic Intervention and De-Radicalization Programme (YEIDEP) will host its implementation stakeholders retreat on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, at Silver Green Hotel, Durumi, Abuja.
The retreat is powered by the Federal Ministry of Youth Development under the Youths Off The Street initiative and will bring together all major stakeholders to finalise strategies for the programme’s execution.
This development comes after weeks of silence from YEIDEP, during which applicants were left uncertain about their status as unofficial circulars circulated online.
According to organisers, the retreat will focus on:
-
Agreeing on timelines and resource allocation
-
Identifying challenges and practical solutions
-
Strengthening collaboration among key partners
YEIDEP currently has 6,884,613 registered members, with reports suggesting that the registration portal has now closed. The retreat is therefore expected to provide clarity and direction for millions of applicants awaiting updates.
The programme’s official partner banks include Fidelity Bank, Keystone Bank, Lotus Bank, Union Bank, Zenith Bank, GTCO, Wema Bank, UBA, and The Alternative Bank.
Scheduled to begin at 11:00 am prompt, the meeting is expected to produce a clear roadmap for YEIDEP’s roll-out.
Applicants have been advised to remain patient and await official communication after the retreat, when YEIDEP organisers and partner banks are expected to outline the next steps.
