Sen. Basheer Garba Mohammed on Friday in Abuja resumed duty as the new Director-General of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP).
NAPTIP Spokesperson, Stella Nezan, said in a statement that Mohammed, on assumption, promised to build on the existing operational platform to ensure national and international visibility for the agency.
The statement quoted him as saying that he would ‘work to effectively curtail the incidence of human trafficking and irregular migration not only in Nigeria but within the Sub-Sahara Africa.’
Mohammed also pledged to work hard to ensure the realisation of the agency mandates and urged all staff to embrace discipline and shun any act that is inimical to the operations of the agency.
He expressed gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari for giving him the opportunity to serve in the capacity as the Director-General of NAPTIP.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Mohammed was the sixth DG of NAPTIP, since its inception in 2004.
The resumption of the new DG of NAPTIP followed the swapping order of two heads of agencies under the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development, by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Mrs Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, who was the then DG of NAPTIP moved to the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants, and Internally Displaced Persons, while Mohammed was moved to NAPTIP. (NAN)
