Edo State Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki, is in talks with the British High Commission and the United Nations’ Women Programme on areas of partnership spanning resettlement of victims of human trafficking and agriculture.
The meetings with the two International bodies held on the sideline of the Senate Roundtable on Migration and Human Trafficking, which held in Benin City.
Obaseki met with the Country Representative, United Nations Women Programme, Comfort Lamptey, with whom he discussed areas of partnership on empowering returnees and stemming the tide of human trafficking.
He also had a separate meeting with British Deputy High Commissioner, Ms Laure Beaufils, to synergise on measures to mitigate human trafficking and novel agriculture initiatives.
The efforts are expected to culminate in an inter-agency committee to coordinate the programmes of international agencies in the state.
