However, though taunted as a panacea for development, it had equally been recognized as having negative effects, of which had aggravated unemployment through economic liberalization practices, thereby exacerbating the level of poverty among developing countries, including Nigeria. There had equally been rising trend of human trafficking in Nigeria as globalization continued to expand. The study therefore examined the relationship between globalization and rising level of human trafficking in the country. Utilizing descriptive survey design, the study which adopted triangulation method, used multi-stage sampling technique to locate respondents from 3 states in Nigeria; Edo, Lagos and Ogun. The methods of data collection were questionnaire, interview and focused group discussion; 544 copies of the questionnaire was administered, 15 key informants interviewed and 2 focused group discussions conducted. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data was content analyzed.
