Thanks
to a committee at the National Conference, unemployed Nigerian
graduates may soon start earning a monthly allowance of N19,800, the
same amount earned by members of the National Youth Service Corps.
The
conference’s Committee on Law, Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Reform
made the proposal, and is pushing for its acceptance at the plenary and
by the Federal Government, Punch reports.
“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.
We have done our part and it is left for the delegates to either reject or accept it at plenary,” said a committee member.
