The Director General, NAPTIP, stressed the need for more awareness across all levels to highlight the dangers of trafficking,

Recognising NiDCOM’s role in engaging with Nigerians in the diaspora, she expressed her commitment to strengthening the NiDCOM-NAPTIP relationship.

Bello assured that the Agency will continue to protect the rights and dignity of Nigerians against trafficking in persons.

Dabiri-Erewa noted that while progress has been made, more needs to be done. She stressed the traffickers should be named and shamed while enforcing stricter penalties as a deterrent to other criminal actors.

She said NAPTIP cannot work alone and called for closer collaboration with NiDCOM, the National Commission for Refugees Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI), and other sister agencies, to curb the menace

She also pushed for more flexible policies and better funding to help NAPTIP to fully carry out its mandate against the menace.

The NiDCOM boss thanked the First Lady Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), neighbouring governments, Nigerian Diaspora Communities, Wema bank and NGOs for helping to rescue and reintegrate trafficked victims. Nigeria: Nigerian fashion
