“I know my book Will do better than You, NAPTIP!” – Izegbe Ogbeide Calls for girls’ safety book sponsorship
**Protecting Nigerian Girls from Exploitation: A Call to Action** Social media personality Izegbe Ogbeide has sounded a clarion call to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) to support her initiative to publish a book on teaching young girls in Nigeria how to stay safe from exploitation and human trafficking. The book aims to raise awareness and equip girls with the necessary knowledge to avoid falling victim to traffickers. Ogbeide's appeal to NAPTIP follows a disturbing experience she had in 2017 when she sought help from the agency, but her pleas fell on deaf ears. This has left her feeling disappointed and frustrated, leading her to question the agency's effectiveness in protecting children. In her impassioned appeal, Ogbeide emphasized the importance of early awareness and education in preventing exploitation. She believes that her book, which will be published by a reputable UK publisher, will reach a wider audience and have a more significant impact than NAPTIP's current efforts. The book will be available to every girl child in Nigeria and globally, empowering them to make informed decisions and avoid situations that could lead to exploitation. Ogbeide's call to action is timely, given the alarming rate of human trafficking in Nigeria. The country has been identified as a source, transit, and destination country for victims of trafficking. Education and awareness are key to preventing this scourge, and Ogbeide's initiative is a step in the right direction. To achieve her goal, Ogbeide is urging NAPTIP to sponsor her project. She believes that education is a powerful tool in protecting girls and equipping parents and schools to prevent exploitation. By supporting her initiative, NAPTIP can demonstrate its commitment to tackling human trafficking and promoting the welfare of Nigerian girls. As a nation, we must come together to protect our girls and prevent them from falling victim to exploitation. Ogbeide's initiative is a reminder of the urgent need for action, and we hope that NAPTIP and other stakeholders will rise to the challenge and support her project.
