Nigeria, Finland collaborate against human trafficking

The National Agency for the Prohibition of Traffic in Persons and Other Related Matters (NAPTIP) and FINLAND decided to team up in the battle against human trafficking.

The Executive Secretary of NAPTIP, Mrs. Beatrice Jedy- Agba advocated for a united and holistic approach by nations of the world as a major strategy in winning the fight against human trafficking.
She further made her opinion on this battle known when she and the Finland Ambassador to Nigeria, Pirjo Suomela-Chowdhury were signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on a closer partnership in curbing human trafficking.
The MOU is between NAPTIP and the Ministry of the lnterior of the Republic of Finland. NAPTIP and Finland have over the years worked together to curb human trafficking related problems affecting Nigeria and Finland.
According to her, a holistic response would imply the adoption of the 4ps of Prevention, Protection, Prosecution and Partnership by all countries, adding that any one left would negatively affect the counter-trafficking agenda of the International community.
