FG Bans Open Drug Market In 2019
The Federal Government says it will shut down all open drug markets this year to curb unwholesome drug distribution system.The Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, disclosed this in a statement issued after a ground breaking ceremony of the Coordinated Wholesale Centre (CWC) in Abia.
Adewole, in the statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) by the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (PCN) on Wednesday, frowned at the chaotic drug distribution system in the country thereby endangering the lives of the populace.

This is a very welcome development as it will help address issues of chaotic drug distribution in Nigeria. It will also help address issues of drug abuse and misuse being witnessed in the country.
I suggest that every state in Nigeria should create co-ordinated drug distribution centers to be manned by qualified pharmacists and that strict penalties should be meted out on anybody/company who goes against this ban.

Thank you FG for taking this bold step towards getting things right in our drug market. Let us strictly monitor how drugs are used in the country. It will go a long way to better our health sector and improve life expectancy of Nigerians. Let us stop quacks and untrained people from killing unsuspecting Nigerians with drugs.
Hurray!!!!!!
