Additional quotes by Amina Titi Atiku-Abubakar

When I started, so many people did not understand and asked questions like how can human beings be trafficked? Many people were taken aback and not until when the real thing started. The moment I started it, the Italian government were very impressed and they started repatriating our girls back to Nigeria. The first batch of girls that were repatriated were 70 and were accompanied by 140 Policemen because these children were very reluctant, they enjoyed the life out there and didn't want to go back home and it was something else and since then we brought it to the front burner of the government and work started and that is how WOTCLEF came about.
