UNICEF: Boko Haram keeps a million children out of school

The Boko Haram insurgency has kept more than one million children out of school, the UN children's agency reported, highlighting fears that a lack of education will fuel further radicalism in and around Nigeria.

 

Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has given his military commanders until the end of the month to end the Boko Haram insurgency, but even if victory is possible analysts say his government will have to contend with social turmoil stemming from a generation of children who have not gone to class.
