As the highly anticipated YEIDEP disbursement for July 2025 approaches, many Nigerians are eagerly waiting for their names to appear on the list. The grant, ranging between ₦50,000 and ₦500,000, has attracted millions of applicants across the country. But despite completing the online application earlier this year, some individuals may not receive any payment—and the reasons may surprise many.
One major reason why some applicants may be removed from the final payment list is the status of their YEIDEP-linked bank account. It has been confirmed that inactive accounts—those without even a small deposit—could be flagged by the system and considered ineligible for payment.
Sources close to the process shared that some applicants failed to fund their account after opening it, assuming it would still be processed. However, this inactivity gives the impression that the account may no longer be valid or that the applicant has lost interest.
Even a small deposit of ₦100 or ₦200 can be enough to keep the account active. This minor action could determine whether or not your name appears in the final list.
Another common issue is the failure to properly link the bank account to the original application. While many applicants opened new accounts as instructed, they either didn’t upload the correct details or skipped confirmation steps.
Without a proper link between the account and the application ID, payment cannot be completed, even if the applicant was selected.
Although the online application process was straightforward, some applicants still submitted incomplete forms or skipped important verification steps. These entries, even if submitted on time, may be disqualified automatically before the disbursement phase.
Those who left sections blank or failed to provide correct contact details could miss any future communication, including alerts about missing information or corrections needed.
Disbursement Begins July, May Extend into August
The first batch of disbursement is expected to begin in early to mid-July 2025, but not all payments will be made at once. According to information received, the disbursement process may continue in batches until August or September, depending on fund availability and verification status.
Applicants are advised to stay patient and avoid panic if they do not receive alerts immediately in July. As seen in previous grant programs, staggered payments are common to ensure proper checks are done.
What You Should Do Now
Applicants who are still waiting should take the following steps immediately:
- Check your application status, if portal access is open
- Make sure your bank account is active, even if it means depositing a small amount
- Recheck that your account is correctly linked with your application ID
- Avoid falling for fake payment links or social media rumours
Although the YEIDEP July 2025 grant offers great hope for many Nigerians, it’s important to follow every instruction exactly. A small mistake can make the difference between getting ₦50,000 or nothing.
