Julie Okah-Donli, the newly
appointed Director-General of National Agency for the Prohibition of
Trafficking in Persons, NAPTIP, is calling for intelligence sharing between
Nigeria and European countries to combat the menace of human trafficking.
Okah-Donli made the appeal when she
received Finland Ambassador to Nigeria, Jirjo Suomela-Chowdhury, who led a team
on a working visit in Abuja.
She explained that for the fight
against human trafficking to be won, intelligence gathering was a basic
ingredient, adding that there must be an increased collaboration between the
governments of Finland and Nigeria in order to reduce the menace of human
trafficking.
Speaking earlier, Suomela-Chowdhury
described human trafficking as a phenomenon that was very difficult to
comprehend, even as she expressed readiness to further support NAPTIP in a bid
to curbing human trafficking in Nigeria.
