Yesterday, the Federal Government announced the relaunch of the Youwin entrepreneurship programme, which was one of the outstanding hallmarks of the Goodluck Jonathan administration.

As promised, we are continuing with #YouWin. Ministry of Finance has now unveiled the restructured #YouWIN—to be known as #YouWINConnect https://t.co/o5sjHdmHJK
— Government of Nigeria (@AsoRock) March 6, 2017
The original #YouWIN was conceived Oct 2011, & has midwifed 3,900 enterprises. We have done a detailed review, to take it to the next level
— Government of Nigeria (@AsoRock) March 6, 2017
As part of the detailed review of #YouWIN we met with awardees & participants & used their feedback to design the next-level #YouWINConnect

#YouWINConnect will continue to provide funding through a Venture Fund, but its primary focus will be to improve entrepreneurial performance
— Government of Nigeria (@AsoRock) March 6, 2017
#YouWINConnect is a multimedia enterprise education initiative that'll inspire & support entrepreneurs as they start & grow their businesses

If you’re wondering why YOUWIN is trending on Twitter now, it is because members of the APC faction said the government was throwing funds down the drain. In fact, some put it forward as the reason to vote out Jonathan.
Do see receipts below:
@Shalomttheo @shrinkchido @mr_ochonogor @OgbeniDipo you call youwin an achievement by GEJ. Come on. That's a waste of SURE P funds.

Some 50 million youths out of jobs, they said to be grateful for the 10,000 or so created by YOUwin. Use your vote to say "Enough!"

@ProfOsinbajo @folanski Is this question still valid or no longer valid cos its now #YouWinConnect? pic.twitter.com/7wD4VXpnhC

Because everything takes on political undertones in these parts, Twitter Nigeria is holding the FG’s feet to the fire, in acknowledgement of GEJ’s impact- at least as far as YOUWIN’s concerned.

In your face, suckers.

APC & Buhari abused d GEJ admin, said their policies impoverished NGR, yet one GEJ era program after the other is being resurrected now…
— afrispheric (@afrispheric) March 7, 2017
A govt that campaigned using lies & propaganda but no economic plans has turned 360 degrees to GEJ's policies
Talk about eating humble pie
— afrispheric (@afrispheric) March 7, 2017
Lies can only travel so far
Propaganda can't build an economy
An airhead govt will eventually be exposed, just as we're witnessing
Lol…

So many life lessons from Buhari's govt, so so many…

The only #Change APC brought since 2015 is #Change of mouth:
"YouWin is a Scam" – APC, pre-2015.
"YouWin is no longer a Scam" – APC, 2017.— Demola Olarewaju (@DemolaRewaju) March 7, 2017
There are three Degrees of Shamelessness: IDGAF, APC and APC-minions.
Same lot that discredited YouWin here now Praise it?
Despicable.— Demola Olarewaju (@DemolaRewaju) March 7, 2017
20 whole months just to add CONNECT to the name. If that isn't incompetence I don't know what is. SMH.
