A committee at the on-going National Conference is suggesting for all unemployed graduates in Nigeria to earn a monthly allowance of which is N19,800, that is the equivalent of the allowance of members of the National Youth Service Corps.

Punch reports that the conference’s Committee on Law, Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Reform made the recommendation but it can only be implemented 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.”

Well, it's a good idea. However, it has its pros and cons.
