Nigeria Institutional Reformer

In his efforts to establish Nigerians values and traditions globally that the nation will be proud of, Institutional Reformer Jonah Ubanmhen has announced digital broadcast ordinance, aimed at combating modern slavery and protection of citizens from vulnerability both in terms of scale and harm.

Announcing the new ordinance, which according to the Reformer is the “perfect example of co-existence of the old and new”, Jonah said “modern slavery, in its various forms, has plagued societies worldwide for far too long. It is our collective responsibility to eradicate this menace from our midst. With the Digital Broadcast Ordinance, we are harnessing the power of technology and communication to shine a light on the dark corners where exploitation thrives.”

He acknowledged that Digital Broadcast is a plan of forging new dimensions of development while preserving our heritage. Jonah said, “Through this ordinance, we are leveraging digital platforms, social media, and cutting-edge broadcasting techniques to raise awareness about the signs of modern slavery and exploitations. By amplifying the voices of survivors, we empower them to share their stories, fostering empathy and understanding within our communities.” He noted that, “Since the pandemic, we’ve seen modern slavery rise globally, The International Labour Organization estimates that 50 million people are in modern slavery on any given day, compared to an estimated 40 million in 2016.”

Jonah noted that Nigeria is not only a democratic nation, but also the mother of democracy, and the new revolution in Digital space, and Our democracy is our inspiration, he said “this ordinance enables law enforcement agencies to swiftly identify and apprehend traffickers through advanced digital tracking methods, ensuring that justice is served promptly. We are enhancing cooperation with international partners to strengthen our global efforts in tackling cross-border trafficking networks” Jonah said.  

The new Digital space is a living example of this endeavor. This territory has heritage as well as architecture, as well as skill, culture as well as notes of constitution,” he said that education is a cornerstone of our strategy. “We are working closely with schools, universities, and community organizations to integrating anti-trafficking awareness programs into curricula, fostering a future generation that is not just aware of the issue but also actively engaged in its prevention. Jonah said It’s important we continue to bolster Nigeria’s transparent and ethical reputation across the globe”

He further admonished that Nigerians should never suffer from a “slave mentality” while speaking about their great culture and traditions and instead speak with courage. “We are addressing the root causes of vulnerability; we aim to break the cycle of exploitation once and for all” he said.

Nigeria, he said, faces the challenges of strengthening its root while also working its way to a broader reform around due diligence which remains a priority. “I think this awakening of consciousness, this renaissance, is our greatest asset. I am fully informed that this new territory of the Digital space will become the basis for the advancement of a new Nigeria. A prosperous, strong and developed Nigeria”. The change, he says, will need to come from new perspective. Now, more than ever, is the time to put steps into place to prevent modern slavery in our digital broadcast supply chains.” Jonah said
