Network Against Trafficking, Abuse and Labour (NACTAL) is an umbrella organisation of Nigerian non-governmental organizations engaged in advocacy and campaign for children's rights, anti-human trafficking, human rights abuse and child labour[1] with some 220 member organizations in the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria and the Federal Capital Territory.[2]

History

NACTAL was founded in 2003 by the United Nations Children's Fund (formerly, United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund), and registered by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) in 2005. NACTAL partners with embassies, government agencies e.g. National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), Nigeria Police Force (NPF), Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Expertise France, European Union, International Organization for Migration (IOM), and A-TIPSOM/FIIAPP Nigeria Police.[3]

Mission and activities

The organization engages in activities including rescue of victims of human trafficking,[4] anti-human trafficking campaigns,[5] training, and implementation of programmes using the 5 P's to stop human trafficking which are as follows: prevention, protection, partnership, prosecution and policy.[6]

NACTAL is led by a board of trustees, National Executive Council (NEC) and six zonal coordinators. The board of trustee is chaired by Bolaji Owasanoye, national executive council is headed by Ustaz Amin O. Igwegbe[7] and the national president is Abdulganiyu Abubakar.[8]
