THE Chairman Anambra State Taskforce on Human Trafficking, Prof. Sylvia Chika Ifemeje says, members of the Taskforce should adopt self help measures in the execution of its programmes.
She said this during a stakeholders’ meeting at the Jerome Udoji State Secretariat, Awka.
Prof. lfemeje also said that the management committee of the taskforce would be inaugurated by next year to help facilitate the programmes of the group.
“Some persons will be approached with a view to helping the taskforce execute its activities, and specific projects like shelter and other essential areas are required for interventions.”
She revealed that efforts are ongoing to package the state taskforce work plan on Human Trafficking in a booklet form with the prefix of the state government.
In her address the state Commander, NAPTIP, Anambra State Mrs. Judith Chukwu Ibadin said that the taskforce would be divided into groups viz: enlightenment and publicity, prevention and prosecution among others, for the attainment of better results.
Mrs. Ibadin expressed regret that members of the state taskforce who were recently commended in Abuja for their work plan are now showing apathy towards the activities of the state taskforce.
She announced that further training of members of the Taskforce would be for only committed members.
“NAPTIP has acquired shelter at Udoka Housing Estate for rescued victims and suspects.
“With time these two categories of persons will not stay under one roof; the State NAPTIP has been involved in rescue operations, arrest of suspects, advocacy visits and prosecution of suspected criminals.”
