Oil tycoon, Tein Jack-Rich, has said only sound education and meaningful engagement of youths is the solution to banditry, saying no amount of military deployment can end the menace.
Jack-Rich stated this in Abuja on Friday when he formally declared his intention to run for President on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The presidential aspirant, while addressing his supporters, narrated his life story of how he lived as a street boy in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, after losing both parents at a tender age.
He said despite the situation he found himself in, he did not take to criminality till he became someone in life.
Speaking earlier, a former Governor of Bauchi State, Isa Yuguda, who is the chairman of his campaign organization, urged the ruling APC to consider the track record of Jack-Rich in the private sector.
Yuguda maintained that Nigeria cannot afford to have someone who has been ”looting” the public treasury for years continue the same trajectory.
