Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has bemoaned increasing number of the out-of-school children in Nigeria, describing them as potential Boko Haram recruits.
Obasanjo said this while addressing participants at the presidential youth mentorship retreat held at Youth Development Centre, Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
He pointed out that with about 14 million out of school children roaming Nigerian streets; no one needs an oracle to know that those children would turn to Boko Haram recruits in the next ten years.
Obasanjo said the rate of the dropouts would expand insecurity in Nigeria.
