The Challenges in the Enforcement of Human Trafficking Laws in Nigeria

Despite the numerous preventive and punitive actions taken, the menace of human trafficking in Nigeria has taken an indefinable dimension in the last two decades. This paper examined the challenges of human trafficking in Nigeria including but not limited to the hectic tasks of domesticating the International Conventions, weak regulatory frameworks, poverty and unemployment, illiteracy and ignorance, poor funding, weak institution, lack of institutional cooperation and non-inclusiveness of stakeholders. This paper concluded that if the challenges confronting human trafficking in Nigeria are not dealt with quickly, human trafficking will continue to thrive in the country. The paper recommended amongst other, that combatting human trafficking requires the Federal and State governments to device efficient means of alleviating the problems of poverty, weak border controls and the rapidly increasing unemployment.
