Paragraph
Paragraph text
Success has been achieved in Nigeria through the creation of a national agency for the prohibition of traffic in persons and other related matters. The agency's mandate is two-fold: law enforcement and providing victims with assistance. It recently reported that it had secured convictions against 111 individuals for trafficking violations and rehabilitated more than 4,000 victims since it began its work in 2003. The agency works with other federal agencies, civil society and international organizations to coordinate victim assistance and centralize information on anti-trafficking activities, and has helped to establish State-level anti-trafficking committees.
