According to her, “the unveiling of the billboards, which is part of the advocacy work, is part of efforts at sensitizing members of the public on the activities of the state government in abolishing human trafficking. It is important for members of the public to also to know that migration is a right; nobody is stopping you from migration.

“If you must migrate, follow the due process; don’t enslave yourself to another person. Legal processes must be followed. Nobody will deprive you of your right.”

She further appealed to members of the public to refrain from using children for such illicit businesses
