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. 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.

“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. 

Meanwhile, after three weeks of intensive committee work, the plenary session of the National Conference resumes on Monday (today) in Abuja with commencement of the consideration of reports of the 20 committees assigned to handle critical national issues. While some of the committees had already submitted signed copies of their reports with agreed-upon recommendations to the conference secretariat for distribution to delegates, others, as at Sunday, were still busy with the collation of their final reports.

Will this work?
