Great news for Nigerian youth entrepreneurs! The long-awaited YEIDEP Batch A Update is finally here, with the official announcement confirming that disbursement will begin from October 20 to 30, 2025. This update covers applicants who submitted their entries earlier when the program was still known as NIYEEDEP (National Innovative Youth Empowerment and Enterprise Development Programme).
YEIDEP Batch A Update: What You Need to Know
The Youth Empowerment and Innovation Development Enterprise Programme (YEIDEP) is a federal initiative aimed at supporting young entrepreneurs and innovators across Nigeria. The program offers non-repayable grants to help participants scale their small and medium-sized businesses.
According to the latest YEIDEP Batch A update, disbursement for approved beneficiaries will take place between October 20 and October 30, 2025. The grants range from ₦100,000 to ₦500,000, depending on the project type, scale, and sector.
You can visit the official YEIDEP website or follow updates on reliable platforms such as JobsRegion for real-time announcements and payment progress.
Eligibility and Coverage
Batch A beneficiaries are those who applied during the NIYEEDEP phase, before the program rebranded to YEIDEP. The transition aims to improve efficiency, transparency, and broader youth engagement in Nigeria’s innovation ecosystem.
Eligible applicants include:
- Youths aged 18–35 with registered small businesses or startups.
- Individuals who completed the entrepreneurship training modules via the YEIDEP portal.
- Applicants verified through the National Identity Number (NIN) and bank verification system.
If you fall within this category, ensure your bank details and documents are accurate on the official portal to avoid payment delays.
Grant Categories and Amounts
The YEIDEP Batch A disbursement will cover different funding categories, depending on the size and impact of each applicant’s business proposal.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
- ₦100,000 — for micro-projects and startups in early development stages.
- ₦250,000 — for small-scale enterprises with proof of concept or limited operations.
- ₦500,000 — for more advanced SMEs and innovation-driven ventures.
Funds will be disbursed directly to beneficiaries’ verified accounts via approved partner banks, similar to how the Nirsal Microfinance Bank handled earlier federal empowerment programs.
What Comes Next After Batch A
YEIDEP management confirmed that Batch B and C will follow immediately after the successful completion of Batch A disbursements. Applicants in the later batches are advised to stay updated through official channels and not rely on third-party information.
The next phase will open to new applicants, prioritizing those in agriculture, technology, and creative industries. Interested youth should begin preparing their business proposals and documentation ahead of the next registration window.
