The President of Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), Dr. Ike Neliaku has appealed to all stakeholders for a joint action to tackle the menace of child and human trafficking in the country.
Dr. Neliaku made the call on Monday in Abuja at the public presentation of the book, “Vicious Red Circle”, written by Alex Oriaku, a diplomat.
The NIPR boss, who was the Book Reviewer said the book challenges every citizen; including policymakers and faith leaders to join forces towards dismantling the “system of silence” that allows human trafficking and other social vices to persist in the society.
“As the author rightly said, if you see evil and keep quiet, you have already signed a lease for that evil to thrive”, he stated.
He described the book as a model of socially responsible literature, a fiction in service of truth and an art in service of humanity, urging every Nigerian to take on the campaign against trafficking at all times to reduce the scourge.
Dr. Neliaku reiterated the readiness of NIPR to continue to champion a narrative that represents the country’s true image and identity.
