Abstract:
The prevalence of prostitution in Nigeria has called for concern of governments,
NGOs, scholars and professionals including adult educators. This paper examined the prevalence
of prostitution in Nigeria, its causes, as well as its effects on the prostitutes, their patrons and the
lager society with a view to exploring how adult and non-formal education provisions can be used
to address the menace. The paper concludes that non-formal education provisions such as
vocational skill acquisition, moral education, literacy education, public enlightenment, antitrafficking
campaign and rehabilitation education can go a long way in addressing the prevalence
of prostitution in Nigeria.
