The recent trafficking in persons is more savagery than its progeny, in which slaves were chained on their legs and necks and bound together in a convoy through Trans-Atlantic route to the whiteman’s country. Ebonyi State is one of such states in Nigeria that is educationally disadvantaged and has fallen victim to human trafficking of all sorts. This study is aimed at investigating the feasibility of using reading club as a panacea to curbing the precarious trends of poor performances in school and human trafficking among secondary school students in Ebonyi State. The investigation employed a survey research design where 200 students were randomly sampled from four co-educational secondary schools. 15 items Questionnaire, which was validated by experts, was used for the elicitation of information from the respondents. Data collected were analyzed using a descriptive statistics of percentage counts and the findings unraveled the wiliness of students to accept the establishment of reading clubs in their schools based on their exposure to the ills of trafficking on their dignity as human and the conspicuous poor performances of senior secondary school students in examinations. Conclusion and recommendations were made thereafter.
