Abstract
This paper examines the provisions of the Trafficking in Persons (Prohibition) Enforcement and Administration Act (Amendment) Bill, 2018. The Bill seeks to amend the Trafficking in Persons (Prohibition) Enforcement and Administration Act 2015 of Nigeria amongst other things. This paper shows that the Bill does not address pertinent issues necessary for the elimination of trafficking in persons in Nigeria such as criminalization of corrupt practices of law enforcement agents, civil legal aid for
victims and enforcement of mandatory reports from corporate bodies on steps taken to prevent the use of trafficked persons in their business chains. It concludes that until
these issues amongst others are addressed, the Trafficking in Persons (Prohibition) Enforcement and Administration Act along with its amendment will remain defective
and unable to significantly curb the menace of trafficking in persons in Nigeria.
