Prostitution will be banished--akwa ibom government says

The Akwa Ibom State government has explained
that commercial sex workers
constituted nuisance along the streets of the
state capital, hence, its intention to
evacuate them from the streets of Uyo.
Dr. Glory Edet, the Commissioner for
Women Affairs and Social Welfare,disclosed this
in Uyo on Tuesday during a
Town Hall Meeting with representatives of
female students in tertiary institutions in Akwa
Ibom.
Edet said, “It is not good for the image of the
state. As a ministry, we play a major role in the
implementation of programmes that promote the
development of women.
“It is, therefore, necessary to provide
Orientation for young women to enable them to
grow into responsible mothers.”
Urging the students to always
respect constituted authorities, engage in
meaningful ventures, dress decently and shun
cultism in school, the commissioner said her
ministry has resolved to ‘evacuate and flush out
all prostitutes from the streets.’
She however called on the female students to
embrace the spirit of humility, hard work and the
fear of God for a brighter tomorrow.
