I must seize this discourse to express my profound gratitude to God who makes good things possible. To His glory I can confirm to you that the Pharm D programme is now approved by the NUC. Recall that this programme had been canvassed since 1999 when the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of PSN approved it in Enugu.
Incidentally, the immediate Past President and National Executive Committee (NEC) who worked assiduously on the Pharm D concept had struck an agreement to have a Pharm D stakeholder’s workshop on November 23, 2015. It turned out this was my first official duty to coordinate as President of PSN.
Now that this is approved, I enjoin all the faculties of pharmacy to brace up for this challenge in the collective bid to improve our service to consumers of health.
Permit me to specially acknowledge the role of the Pharmacy Council of Nigeria (PCN) Registrar and the members of the immediate past PCN who genuinely supported our aspiration in this regard. Finally, I convey our kudos to Prof. Julius Okojie, the Executive Secretary and Management of NUC for deeming it fit to give this most important approval.

op pls educate me. what exactly is Pharm D. What is it all about?

The pharm.D degree is more clinically oriented than the B.pharm degree preparing pharmacist to assume greater responsibility in patient care and assure the provision of rational drug therapy.
The Pharm.D. curriculum is designed to produce a scientifically and technically competent pharmacist who can apply his knowledge and skills in such a manner as to provide maximum health care services to patients. Students are provided with the opportunity to gain greater experience in patient close cooperative relationships with other health practitioners.
The professional pharmacy curriculum is designed to produce pharmacists who have the abilities and skills that are necessary to achieve outcomes related to:
×Providing pharmaceutical care to patients
×Developing and managing medication distribution and control systems
×Managing the pharmacy
×Promoting public health
×Providing drug information and education
You can check google for more information. The battle for the implementation of the programme has been on for more than a decade now but has finally been given approval by the NUC this week. The programme is already on in the university of Jos and Benin.
