King Tonto Dikeh nollywood female actor is out for another kingly war against human trafficking joining force with National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking In Persons NAPTIP and they are taking the campaign to the University of Abuja.
According to the Director-General of NAPTIP, Julie Donli-Okah, Tonto Dikeh has helped to provide a platform for the largest groups being targeted to be reached.
Tonto Dikeh explained that she chose, as NAPTIP’s national ambassador, to focus her energy on undergraduates because it has been observed that most victims were unemployed fresh graduates who were enticed with prospects of securing high-paying jobs overseas.
She said: “We chose to focus on the undergraduates because human traffickers exploit the unemployment situation in the country to lure youths who are fresh out of school with job offers overseas.
“So, we have to educate them even before they leave school and also tell them about the pains, the dangers and the negative effects of human trafficking on our society and country at large. Some people are ignorant and that’s why they were trafficked in the first place.
“We are also working closely with the student unions to set-up a NAPTIP club on campus to ensure that the campaign is sustained beyond this event.
“We want to drive the message against human trafficking to the streets, homes, communities as well as nooks and cranny of Nigeria.”
Other celebrities who were also present at the campus campaign were Toyin Abraham, Bobrisky, Styl Plus, Halima Abubakar and others.
