By Bridget Ikyado

Abuja – The Justice Development and Peace Commission (JDPC) under the Catholic Archdiocese of Abuja has taken the war against human trafficking to secondary schools in the federal capital territory.

The programme took place at the Federation of Muslim Women’s Association of Nigeria (FOMWAN), Basic School, Wuse ll, Abuja.

Chairman of the Commission, Barr Josephat Abaagu said sensitising basic and senior secondary schools on human trafficking, had become imperative.

He explained that JDPC and other partners were in the school to create awareness on the dangers of human trafficking on school children and other vulnerable persons.

“We are here to let the Children know the signs, dangers and indicators; as they could draw the attention of their parents, siblings, teachers or security agencies, if suspicious of anyone,” he said.

Also while addressing the pupils, the Director-General (D-G) of NAPTIP, Dr Fatima Waziri–Azi, said the agency had already produced a curriculum on human traficking for schools.

Waziri-Azi, who was represented by Mr Yasir Aminu-Bello, a Principal Officer at the agency, said the curriculum was aimed at educating the young ones about the dynamics and dangers of human trafficking.

She explained that the curriculum was also to protect them from falling victims of human trafficking.

The NAPTIP D-G, advised the children to be watchful and always seek help when approached by any suspicious persons.

Mrs Blessing Waziri of the Network Against Trafficking, Abuse and Labour (NACTAL), also an NGO, said her organisation was exploring effective ways of creating awareness on the dangers of human trafficking among youths.

She , therefore, said creating awareness from secondary school level was one of such.

She appealed to the pupils not to allow their friends take them to unknown places without their parents’ knowledge and approval.

Waziri commended the NAPTIP for developing the curriculum manual for staff and other law enforcement agencies, expressing optimism that it would effectively tackle the menace of human trafficking.

According to Mrs Chito Anaekwe, an official of the Catholic Action Committee on HIV/AIDS (CACA), human trafficking, which has been effectively mainstreamed into school curricular, would benefit young people when it takes effect.

On her part, Victoria Aigbe, an Assistant Superintendent of Corps, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), FCT Command, said educating young people on the challenges and dangers of migration was a laudable idea.

Aigbe advised pupils to be security conscious of some offers of better education or training abroad.

Secondary school students sensitised on dangers of human traficking after the event

“Sometimes your parents, teachers and friends are involved, and if you are not sure of what to do or where to go to, just report to any security agency,” she said.

She advised them not to be afraid of reporting such matters as their lives would be saved and they would be adequately protected.

The event also featured an awareness walk around Wuse ll.

The programme, which was sponsored by USAID, is being facilitated by Palladium, an NGO.

Members of the Action Against Trafficking in Persons Cluster are the JDPC, CEDARSEED Foundation, Health/Justice Development and Peace Initiative, FOMWAN, Earthspring International and CACA.(NAN/vitalnewsngr.com)
