Youth Economic Intervention and De-Radicalization Programme (YEIDEP) will hold its implementation stakeholders retreat on Wednesday, 3rd September 2025 at Silver Green Hotel, Durumi, Abuja. The event is powered by the Federal Ministry of Youth Development under the Youths Off The Street initiative.
This retreat comes just weeks after YEIDEP went silent on progress updates, leaving many applicants uncertain about their status. During this period, several unofficial circulars have been shared online without any official confirmation from YEIDEP.
This meeting is where all the key people involved in YEIDEP will come together to plan, review, and agree on how it will be executed.
Currently, YEIDEP has a total of 6,884,613 registered members. Multiple unofficial reports also indicate that the YEIDEP portal has now been finally closed, raising more questions among applicants.
According to organisers, the retreat will focus on agreeing on timelines and resources, identifying challenges and solutions, and building stronger collaboration for smooth execution. The programme will start at 11:00 am prompt.
Official partner banks for the programme include Fidelity Bank, Keystone Bank, Lotus, Union Bank, Zenith Bank, GTCO, Wema Bank, UBA, and The Alternative Bank.
The retreat is expected to provide clarity on the Youth Economic Intervention and De-Radicalization Programme and outline the way forward for its millions of registered members.
Applicants are urged to remain calm until September 3rd when YEIDEP organizers and partner banks will update everyone on what to do next.
