The Federal Government will no longer permit young girls to be housed in hotels across the nation, according to Minister of Women’s Affairs Hon. Uju Ohaneye.
She explained that this was one of the preventative steps taken to stop human trafficking, particularly involving Nigerian girls.
The disclosure was made over the weekend during a speech given by her at the Office of the Senior Special Advisor to the President on Technical Education, Abiola Arogundade, on the occasion of graduation and grant presentation of financial assistance to youth who participated in the Technical, Vocational, and Entrepreneurship Education.
Following the release of a viral film featuring Nigerian girls who were trafficked to Ghana for prostitution, the Minister of Women Affairs made her thoughts.
The adolescent girls ranged in age from fifteen to sixteen.
In addition to forbidding the accommodation of minors, Hon. Ohaneye declared that her Ministry was committed to preventing Nigerians from dying young and that emergency patients would no longer be turned away from hospitals.
“Women have been suffering in this country,” the speaker stated. We have discussed today giving the impoverished in our nation a breathing space.
In the meantime, you have probably seen the video that went viral regarding our ladies being brought to Ghana.
Have you noticed it? Excellent. On Monday, things will get underway. On Monday morning, you will be the first to know about our activity.
I’m going to start there and see what I can do to address it.
Nigeria has to improve. We have instructed hotels to post a sign outside the Ministry of Women as of June 20.
No accommodation for minors. Otherwise, and I mean this, what occurred in Niger State will be underestimated compared to what occurs in the Federal Capital Territory.
No more school bullying, and no more housing for young ladies.
Additionally, a sign reading “No more rejection of emergency patients” will be posted in our hospitals.
These are a few of the most important problems facing our nation.
During the youth technical, vocational, and entrepreneurial education graduation ceremony, the SSA for Technical, Vocational, and Entrepreneurship Education stated that 10,000 participants in the “Unlock Training Programme” received training “on how to write and execute Business Plans.
“Participants in the programme received instruction on the elements of a strong business plan, such as the executive summary, business overview and marketing strategies, pricing, money management, and risks, in addition to other topics, both in-person and virtually.
Participants were required to write and turn in business plans following the course. “We are awarding grants of N500,000 Naira each to 120 winners who have the best business plans today.”
Additionally, we are presenting honorary awards to eighty individuals who demonstrate exceptional technical, vocational, and entrepreneurial talents but require assistance to advance their firms.
In addition, we pledged to help participants—particularly those who were brand-new businesses—register their enterprises and to award Certificates of Completion to every individual who finished the course.
We are here today to keep our end of the bargain. “To ensure that none of you depart today without your prices, the staffs of the Corporate Affairs Commission and Providus Bank are here to, respectively, issue incorporation certificates and credit the winners with their N500,000 Naira grants.”
200 trainers benefited from the award, according to checks Of the 120 Freshers, 80 were established business owners in need of more funding to further their investment.
