This is sure a good news, Hello Jobless graduates (That's harsh) Let me say Hello unemployed Naija youths, No be only NYSC folks go dey collecy N19,800, una sef go follow collect..Here is what I gathered exclusively from Punch this morning.
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.
Punch 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.
Presently, the Federal Government pays each corps member a monthly allowance of N19,800
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.
Apart from that, the source said the
members felt that the action would force the Federal Government to be
alive to its responsibility of providing welfare to its citizens.
The committee member, who asked not to
be named, said, “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.”
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.
It would be recalled that at specific
times within the three weeks, the committees’ leadership met with the
conference management, comprising the Chairman, Deputy Chairman, the
Secretary and the three assistant secretaries to rub minds on certain
issues to facilitate their work.
It was during one of those meetings that
the issue of time extension for committees, from two to three weeks,
was discussed, agreed upon and implemented in view of the workload
assigned each of the committees and the various national public holidays
that followed.
Submission of Committee Reports to the
Conference is in line with Order 12(d-e) of the National Conference
Procedure Rules 2014, which states that, “Each Committee shall submit to
the Conference the report of its activities.
