That's what a committee at the on-going National Conference is suggesting...for all unemployed graduates in Nigeria to earn a monthly allowance equivalent to the allowance of members of the National Youth Service Corps, which is N19,800. Punch reports that the conference’s Committee on Law, Judiciary, Human
Rights and Legal Reform made the recommendation but it can only fall
through if it's accepted by the Federal Government.
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. He told Punch;
"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.”
I have a feeling FG won't be interested in this. Who thinks it's a good idea?

It will make many unemployed graduates to have a sense of belonging to the Nigerian project and therefore crime wud reduce but i only hope our president endorses it19 May at 15:09 · Edited · Unlike · 1
- Nelson Kalusha For me as far as Nigeria is concern, i won't give this a listening ear unless it is officially made and acceptable by the so- called leaders and also see it working because i don't fink it will ever work, this little one they are giving to corp members they are not even happy for it, they will see it as unnecessary spending for the youth of the country.19 May at 15:33 · Unlike · 2
- John Asukwo It won't work! Those working in the unworking government will walk over it and pump the money into their pockets. Though it will encourage Nigerians to go through school to get the allowance, it will not reduce crime in any way. After all, 19k is just a chicken money to robbers and drug dealers who operate every fortnight. Stop these dullardly suggestions. The government is working for the rich, but not working for the common man.19 May at 15:42 · Unlike · 3
