Succour may soon come to unemployed
graduates in Nigeria if the recommendation of one of the committees at
the ongoing National Conference is accepted at the plenary and by the
Federal Government.
Continue reading after the cut....
Our correspondent learnt that the
conference’s Committee on Law, Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Reform
had recommended that each unemployed graduate should be paid a monthly
allowance equivalent to the allowance of members of the National Youth
Service Corps.
Presently, the Federal Government pays each corps member a monthly allowance of N19,800
A member of the committee said the
recommendation was one of the ways the committee members felt that crime
could be reduced in the country.
Apart from that, the source said the
members felt that the action would force the Federal Government to be
alive to its responsibility of providing welfare to its citizens.
The committee member, who asked not to
be named, said, “The recommendation is our own way of finding solutions
to the rising wave of crime in the country and to also force the
government to do the needful for the increasing number of unemployed
graduates in the country.
Culled - Punch
