Amaechi identifies causes of Boko Haram

Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State at the weekend attributed the cause of the Boko Haram sect to lack of education.

Amaechi said about 80 per cent of certain children in the North did not learn some essential things at the appropriate time.

The governor spoke at the flag- off ceremony of the 2011 capacity building workshop held in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The ceremony was for  basic education teachers and education managers organised by the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) in collaboration with State Universal Basic Education Board, Ameachi said the militants in the Niger Delta  who “constituted problem in the society” also  lack  proper education.
