The fact that respondents agree that radio and television campaigns help to reduce girl trafficking yet respondents are not satisfied with the quality of girl trafficking campaign on radio and television. This led to the recommendations on the need for the media to undertake effective investigation reporting in order to unearth all hidden issues and bring it to the front burner to enlighten the public especially Idia College students. The research recommended that much emphasis should be placed on news reportage and it should be repeated 2-3 times weekly. Those found guilty of human trafficking should be made to face grave penalty by the law.
