The Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (PCN) said it has sealed
about 231 shops of illegal medicine vendors in Nasarawa State during its field
operation, recently. Director, enforcement of the PCN, Stephen Esumobi,
disclosed this yesterday, during a press conference in Lafia. He said that
eight compliance directives were equally issued for various offences such as
poor sanitary conditions, poor documentation and non-display of premises and
pharmacists’ annual licences.
“Few people were found to be unable to communicate in
English, a situation that could result in a plethora of treatment misadventures
with grave public health implication.”
“At the end of the exercise, a total of 498 premises were
visited comprising of 389 patent and proprietary medicine vendors’ shops and
109 pharmacies across the state
