The Ministry of Women Affairs has perfected plans to stop hotels in the country from lodging underage girls.

The Minister of Women Affairs, UJU KENNEDY-OHANEYE, who disclosed this in Abuja, said the ban on lodging of young girls in hotels will help tackle the menace of trafficking.

She was reacting to the recent rescue of ten teenage Nigerian girls allegedly trafficked to Ghana for prostitution.

KENNEDY-OHANEYE said action against such practices like trafficking from the Ministry of Women Affairs will start today.

She said hoteliers will be mandated to put up a ‘No Lodging of Underage Girls’ signage outside their facilities.

The Minister also instructed school proprietors in the country to take action against bullying by either teachers or students.
