“This is the ladies golf tournament here, and we see this as a good avenue to further create awareness on the ills of human trafficking, forced labour, and illegal migration.
“We will have an opportunity to talk to the participants and about 300 caddies here, on how to identify traffickers and victims, and where to go when they notice suspicious movements.
“We are determined to use every opportunity to drive home the message,’’ she said.
NAN reports that NAPTIP earlier reinforced its commitment to work with the Nigerian Immigration Service and some foreign embassies to reduce incidents of trafficking in Nigeria.
