Rimax chief: Southeast youths need amnesty

By Livinus-Okwara


Industrialist and Chief Executive Officer of Rimax Group, Livinus Okwara, has called on the Federal Government to grant amnesty to Southeast  youths to re-integrate  them to quell agitations from the region.


Okwara spoke in Lagos, at a news conference to herald inauguration of Rimax Institute’s secondary school.


He said Southeast continued to be a war zone because of youths’ resentment and feeling of marginalisation.


Okwara said the Federal Government should initiate programmes to reclaim the nation’s youths.


He showcases some  modern learning aids and equipment to facilitate vocational and contemporary learning.


He said the secondary school, billed to begin enrolment soon, is a 3,000-capacity facility with 38 classrooms, and will democratise access to quality education for all classes with a tuition  of N500 per week.


Okwara said one of the school’s selling points is its prioritisation of vocational skills as a way of reducing unemployment.
