Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki has called for support to reintegrate victims of human trafficking into the society, saying the state government is spending a lot.
The governor said this on Wednesday in Rome, Italy, where he called for more support to sustain government’s efforts and ensure that youths do not have reasons to embark on perilous journeys in search of greener pastures.
“We are spending a lot to reintegrate these young people into the society and we anticipate that the expenses would be more in the nearest future,” he said.
“We solicit for support from the European Union, the Italian government, as well as other countries affected by this menace to be able to sustain the structures we have set up in the state.”
“All parties affected by the menace of human trafficking both the countries of origin and the destination countries stand to benefit from the system we have set up in Edo State to engage these youths, which would give them no reason to contemplate migrating illegally.
