OSOGBO—In line with the quest of the Osun State Government to tackle human trafficking, the office of the wife of governor in the state is to partner with a United States-based organisation, Safehouse International to fight against child trafficking.

At a partnership meeting with the wife of the governor in Osogbo on Wednesday, the Founder and Co-founder of the organisation, Mr. David Moscrip and Dr. John Laoye said that the organisation was triggered to partner with the state due to its personal commitment and passion to work to impact the lives of youths and motivate them to realise their full potentials.

They said that the organisation was specifically motivated by the efforts of the first lady, Mrs Sherifat Aregbesola in tackling the menace of child trafficking in the state.

“One of articles read in newspapers about what had been done and action seeing to have been taken on child trafficking by the wife of the governor, informed our commitment to stand by you and even the state government to ensure that every child have the privilege to enjoy the abundant life that God created them for” said the organisation.

Mrs Aregbesola said that it was her passion for women and especially children that propelled her to be working towards ensuring that all children have at least basic education, from which they could move to be whatever they want to be in life.
