The Youth Economic Intervention and De-Radicalization Programme (YEIDEP) aims to empower youth, reduce vulnerability, and promote sustainable careers across Nigeria.

The Federal Government reopened registration for Batch B on 27 October 2025.

Eligible applicants are advised to act swiftly, as the deadline has not yet been announced and slots may fill quickly.

YEIDEP targets young Nigerians aged 18 to 35 with a business or skill they want to develop.

The programme covers key sectors including agriculture, fashion, creative industries, technology, entertainment, sports, renewable energy, light manufacturing, retail, and financial software.

The initiative goes beyond financial support. Participants receive entrepreneurship and digital literacy training, mentorship, and guidance to strengthen their businesses.

By supporting young people, YEIDEP also contributes to national security by reducing the risk of radicalisation in vulnerable communities.

Applicants must be Nigerian citizens with valid NIN and BVN. A partner bank account with Lotus Bank, Keystone Bank, or Fidelity Bank is required.

Simple and realistic business ideas are encouraged, with grant amounts assessed according to need.

Successful applicants can receive non-repayable grants of ₦50,000, ₦100,000, ₦250,000, or ₦500,000. Additional support includes training, mentorship, and access to community engagement programmes.

To apply, candidates should visit yeidep.org, complete the registration form, upload required documents, and follow instructions for partner bank account verification.

Applicants are advised to avoid scams and only use official government channels.

YEIDEP 2025 represents a transformative opportunity for young Nigerians. Grants and training can help start-ups grow, create jobs, and stimulate local economies.

For instance, a young farmer could expand her poultry business, while a budding tech entrepreneur could invest in equipment and training to start freelancing.
