The Director-General of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), Binta Adamu Bello, has called for stronger collaboration among ECOWAS member states to eradicate human trafficking in the region.

Speaking in Abuja during the launch of food donations under an ECOWAS-supported project for trafficking victims, Bello stressed the need for collective action.

In a statement by NAPTIP’s Press Officer, Vincent Adekoye, she emphasized that addressing human trafficking requires urgent and coordinated efforts due to the region’s vulnerability to the crime.

She said: “NAPTIP has always recognized the critical need for collaboration to effectively combat human trafficking and provide the necessary support to the victims of this heinous crime. Our partnership with the ECOWAS Commission has been instrumental in enhancing our capacity to protect victims and provide them with comprehensive care.
