Mr Chika Nwaozuzu, Faculty Adviser and H.E Dr Andreas Baum, Ambassador of Switzerland at the signing of the cooperation agreement between the NIGMUNS and the Embassy of Switzerland on the 5th March 2009.

Let me welcome you all on behalf of the Nigeria Model United Nations Society to our year 2009 programmes and conferences. These events have been exceptionally packaged to mark the 5th anniversary of our organization. Yes! Five years of existence and NigMUNS has matured into one of the most influential youth development organizations in Nigeria and beyond.

I am so proud of what we have accomplished in the last five years and even more excited about what we have to achieve in the years ahead. I owe a debt of gratitude to the students, teachers, school administrators, parents, foreign diplomats and government officials that have in one way or the other contributed to our success story.

The central theme for the 2009 conferences – Human Trafficking, Illegal Migration and Smuggling of Migrants is one that my organization and I find particularly important. I am delighted by the interest that the theme has attracted from government and non-governmental organizations with different mandates and perspectives.

Human trafficking has been defined as modern-day slavery, a dark side of globalization, which makes victims out of those that are poor and vulnerable. It is a criminal activity that violates the fundamental human rights of people mostly women and children. Millions of people around the world still suffer in silence in slave like situations of forced labour, domestic servitude and commercial sexual exploitation from which they cannot free themselves. Human trafficking and smuggling threaten the social and economic sustainability of developing countries

I believe that young people are very important stakeholders in world affairs and that they have a passionate and unique aptitude to create successful and sustainable projects for positive change. On the other hand if the youth fail to address current global issues and continually bring them to the attention of today’s leaders, they might have themselves to blame in a time to come, because it is their generation and children that will live with the consequences of the present day mistakes.

To our international guests, I would like to remind you that best of Nigeria does not in any way belong in the pages of travel brochures or international news commentaries; you really have to experience Nigeria to know her well and appreciate her inherent attributes. Visiting this most populous black nation in the world is an endless adventure and the impressions are unforgettable.

I invite you to browse through our website to get a better knowledge of and guidance on how to participate in our programmes. I hope you will find the website easy to navigate just as we promise to update it frequently.

Together we can be a voice for the voiceless and together we can make our world a better place for all to live in; A world without slavery. Yes we can!
