the Director-General of NAPTIP, Julie Okah- Donli, in Abuja, said that the
state government was out to reduce to the barest minimum, the number of
girls being trafficked from the state to Diaspora.

for its activities and commitment towards youth empowerment in the state, while
expressing the preparedness of NAPTIP to partner the state government in
tackling the epidemic of trafficking in the state.
