See What Akwa Ibom State Government Plans To Do To Prostitutes In The State

The government of Akwa Ibom State has announced its plans to evacuate prostitutes from the streets of Uyo.

Dr Glory Edet, the Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Welfare, who disclosed this in Uyo on Tuesday during a Town Hall Meeting with representatives of female students in tertiary institutions in Akwa Ibom, said the commercial sex workers constituted nuisance along the streets of the state capital, adding that it was not good for the image of the state.


The commissioner said, “As a ministry, we play a major role in the implementation of programs that promote the development of women.” She further added that “It is, therefore, necessary to provide orientation for young women to enable them to grow into responsible mothers.”
