The Ogun Government has initiated a board to investigate the danger of prostitution among under-aged youth in the state.
The committee members, drawn from the Ministries of Youth and Sports and Women Affairs, would sensitize, arrest and rehabilitate youth involved in such exercises.
Talking at the initiation of the board of trustees on Monday in Abeokuta, the Commissioner for Youths and Sports, Afolabi Afuape, regretted the widespread idea of open prostitution in the state.
He said sensitisation would begin from all the four stadia over the state for seven days, after which arrests could be made by security work force.
"The service has dependably been a promoter against the demonstration of open prostitution over the state, particularly inside the four stadia over the state.
"Recently, the panel swung without hesitation by sensitizing shop owners at
MKO Abiola International Stadium.
"Our plan is that anyone arrested after the sensitisation would be selected into important projects that will enhance her life,'' Mr. Afuape said.
The magistrate approached government at all levels, particularly the Federal Government, media and major groups to join the campaign against prostitution the nation over.
He said a helpful domain must be given to young people the nation over to find themselves and learn different aptitudes which would put a conclusion to a wide range of social indecencies.
Additionally, the Commissioner for Women Affairs, Abiola Kufile, portrayed the go about as dishonorable to womanhood, saying all must ascent against it.
She said the state government was resolved to take up arms against open prostitution over the city, including that different sorts of recovery framework had been intended for the casualties.
Mrs. Kufile asked parents to be more aware of the prosperity of their kids and give their requirements in accordance with the fear of God.
She said that 70 percent of societal ills depended on absence of moral standard and indiscipline among young people.
