Military Alone Can't end Insurgency- Obasanjo

                          

Ex-President of Nigeria  Chief Obasanjo  has said that using military Operation alone to tackle Boko Haram in Nigeria and other parts of the world cannot  end insurgency.

Obasanjo,spoke in Lusaka about conflicts in Africa during the 22nd Annual General Meeting of African Export-Import Bank,he said the crisis were caused  by failure to address certain social problems in the society such as Educational disparity.


“According to Obasanjo, a situation, such as in Nigeria, where one section had an educational attainment level of 79 per cent while another had only 19 per cent, created room for conflict.”

The Afrixembank Spokesperson,Obi Emekekwue quoted Obasanjo in his statement thus:  “He proposed a carrot and stick solution to the conflicts on the continent through an approach involving military solutions and social development since a purely military approach would not work.
