The Ogun State Government has pledged its unalloyed commitment to the fight against trafficking in persons.
This was contained in an address that was delivered by the Deputy Governor of the State, Engr Noimot Salako-Oyedele on Friday at the inauguration of the Ogun State Taskforce Team on Human Trafficking.
Engr Salako-Oyedele, who was representing the State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, stated that as a responsible government, the administration was focused on bringing to an end, criminal activities threatening insecurity such as child abuse and human trafficking.
She expressed confidence that the Taskforce Team would corroborate operations of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP).
She also mentioned a few of the efforts made by the State Government to curb the crime which includes the domestication of relevant Acts and Laws; Agency empowerment; and goal-driven partnership with stakeholders.
The Team, according to the Government, will be functioning to execute control strategies against human trafficking, as well as reintegrate already trafficked persons into society with a means to survive independently and legitimately.
She, however, called on the good people of the State to make available, all needed support to the Team, as they diligently carry out their duties for security and collective development.
