The House of Representatives has condemned the Minister of Labour, Employment and Productivity, Senator Chris Ngige, of shunning its invitations on the investigation of trafficking of persons out of N

igeria.

Chairman of the committee, Tolulope Akande-Sadipe, said the panel had narrowed down its probe into trafficking of Nigerians and their enslavement to illegal agents and recruiters. She said, “The House Committee on Diaspora, in a bid to find workable solutions in tackling the menace of trafficking and the dehumanising condition of Nigerians abroad by some local and international syndicates, has been holding a series of inter-agency meetings with stakeholders. But, regrettably, the Minister of Labour, whose portfolio is at the centre of the whole controversy, has refused to honour the committee’s invitation for five consecutive meetings.
