A don, Prof. Buliaminu Abdulkareem, has urged the Federal Government to pay a monthly stipend to unemployed graduates as part of efforts to check the rising cases of crime in the country.
Abdulkareem told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Akure on Wednesday that such a policy would boost the morale of young graduates and minimise the frustration occasioned by a feeling of societal neglect.
The don said the Federal Government’s war against insurgency and other crimes would not yield positive results if the youths were not engaged in meaningful ventures.
He enjoined Nigerians, especially the political class, to support President Muhammadu Buhari’s campaign against corruption so as to promote prudent management of resources.
Abdulkareem also commended Buhari for rejecting the United States’s homosexual laws, pointing out that the belief system of that country was alien to Nigeria’s culture and religious beliefs.
