New NAPTIP boss pledges to enforce instruments against human trafficking

Binta Lami Adamu Bello, the new director-general of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, has pledged to enforce all instruments against human trafficking.
Ms Bello said this in a statement on Thursday.
When she assumed office on Wednesday, the new NAPTIP boss promised to run an open-door policy.
President Bola Tinubu announced Ms Bello’s appointment in a statement on August 6.
The new NAPTIP boss took over from Fatima Waziri–Azi.
Ms Bello, who also pledged to tackle incidences of human trafficking in the country, in line with the renewed hope agenda of the president, stressed the need for more efforts to strengthen officers of the agency.
She also stressed the need to motivate the staff to work hard to justify the confidence reposed in NAPTIP.
She said, “I am ready for enforcement. We shall not by the grace of God, disappoint Mr President who has directed me to come and continue from where others stopped.
“Every one of you will be carried along and you should be ready to work so that we can reach our target. I will look at the administrative setting here and give each of you a target per month and you will be evaluated on that basis.
“We must work very hard to make sure that we are within the vision and mission of this agency. Anything short of that, we are a failure.”
