The senator representing Borno North, Abubakar Kyari, has given hints on the possible solutions to end Boko Haram indulgency in the northern part of Nigeria.
Kyari stated that citizens of the country need to support the military in the fight against Boko Haram.
The senator disclosed at the Barewa College, Zaria during a class of 1979 meeting and presentation of awards of excellence at the weekend.
He also urged parents to bring up their children in a way that would make peace reign in the country.
According to him, “What I mean by government and military alone cannot bring Boko Haram to an end is simply that we need to re-examine the moral training of our children.
“When a child is brought up with a sound mind, no ideology can sway his thinking.
“Today is the 10th year that we are fighting this insurgency and we don’t know for how long it would continue.
“But we are praying to see the end of it. Therefore, we all need to genuinely make our contribution to defeat the insurgency.”
Also there present at the event, the chairman of Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Professor Ango Abdullahi, described Barewa College as one of the sources of northern Nigerian unity, saying that it started with people like “Gowon, Ribadu and others when they were students at the college.”
