Abstract
This chapter concludes this book by encapsulating the learnings from this study by articulating the inherent problem of trafficking from Nigeria to the UK. It reiterates the fact that the anti-trafficking regime can only make a difference once it begins to operate beyond a law enforcement framing. It adds that the diversity inherent in the case study used in this book as well as the identified gaps can only be tackled through a shared understanding by both states while considering their history, culture and sociopolitical underpinnings. It offers actionable recommendations that aim to address the gaps identified with the primary objective of putting human beings at the heart of anti-trafficking response.
