The Director-General of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, Binta Bello, has stressed the need for sustained education and capacity building for teachers as part of efforts to combat human trafficking in Nigeria.
Bello said preventing human trafficking through education and sensitisation remained more effective than addressing its consequences after victims had already been trafficked.
Represented by the Director of Training and Manpower Development at NAPTIP, Ebele Ulasi, the DG spoke on Tuesday in Abeokuta during the opening of a two-day capacity-building workshop for 150 selected secondary school teachers across Ogun State.
The training, themed “Mainstreaming Trafficking in Persons Content Into The Revised National Curriculum,” was organised to expose teachers to the integration of anti-human trafficking education into the basic and secondary school curriculum.
