At the on-going National conference in Abuja, the Committee on Law, Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Reforms made a proposal to allow unemployed graduates earn a monthly allowance of 19,800 Naira.
According to one of the committee members: "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, he said.
"We have done our part and it is left for the delegates to either reject or accept it at plenary," said a committee member, he later concluded. The committee pushed to achieve this at the plenary and as well at to gain approval by the federal government. If approved, Nigeria may be joining a host of other Super power countries that engage in this form of settlement as a means to poverty reduction and a manageable means of livelihood. We hope it doesn't get abused if such happens.
