The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the MMS Woman of Fortune Hall of Fame (WoFHoF) Initiative to tackle human trafficking, war, and sex and gender-based violence in the maritime sector.
   
The MoU outlined areas of engagement to include human trafficking by sea and cross-border transportation, as well as sex and gender-based violence in workplaces and business environments, particularly within the maritime sector and logistics industry.
   
Speaking during the signing ceremony in Abuja, the Director-General of NAPTIP, Binta Adamu Bello, expressed confidence in the capacity of the gender-centric Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) to deliver results.
   
A Board member of the MMS WoFHoF Initiative, Lami Tumaka, who led the leadership of the NGO to the event, expressed gratitude for the confidence reposed in the women-centric organisation.
   
She urged members of the agency’s staff to give their full cooperation for the implementation and success of the proposed value addition.
   
The Chief Executive Officer of MMS WoFHoF Initiative, Mr Kingsley Anaroke, encouraged the agency to leverage the wealth of human resources assembled by the NGO to make a greater impact on society and build a sustainable brand within its sphere of operations.
