no problem, we control both the formal and in formal drug trade. chasing the drug hawkers is as good as profiting the cabalous drug industry(the big boys in the drug industry which the igbos control and dominate), thereby increasing their profit and also a good news for those that have shares with this companies because it will translate into better dividends grin grin grin grin grin grin

geeez: All those so called chemists selling fake drugs should be arrested and prosecuted. A lot of them cannot even spell the word PHARMACY and they dispense drugs and in some instances prescribe and even treat.

Taking advantage of a person's ill health not only to profit but in some cases further aggravate the victim's condition is nothing but criminal

What we want in our noble state are the likes of Bukky's Healthplus, Mrs. Joke Bakare's Medplus and Prince Julius Adeluyi's Juli Pharmacy

We need to rid the streets and neighborhoods of Lagos of these heartless criminals and return them to where they belong

dont worry.
Our own 'HealthPlus' and 'MedPlus' will still outnumber urs.
No be we teach una how to 'MedPlus'?
Its a win-win.

abu12: Lagos – The Lagos State House of Assembly has warned that the state government will apprehend and prosecute any person or group of persons found hawking drugs on the streets.
Assemblyman Suru Avoseh, the Chairman of the House Committee on Health Services, gave the warning in Lagos on Friday at the 3rd Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Lagos State Medicine Dealers Association.
Avoseh (APC-Badagry I) said that state’s Ministry of Health, in collaboration with the leadership of the association, would arrest anyone found hawking drugs on the streets.
“Hawking of drugs is highly prohibited on the streets of Lagos State; anyone found using wheelbarrow or any other means to hawk drugs will be sanctioned,’’ he warned.
Besides, the lawmaker said that the government would not allow members of the medicine dealers’ association to operate illegally.
He urged them to operate within the laws guiding trade in medicine.
Avoseh said that the committee had intensified efforts to ensure that members of the association, who applied for certification to operate in the state, were considered.
The association’s President, Mr Fidelis Nwokeocha, pledged that members of the association would always abide by the government’s policies.
He said that he had sensitised members of the association to the dangers of stocking and selling drugs, whose source and existence were questionable.
“We do not encourage or support anyone who is involved in such practice; we always ensure that our purchases are genuine.
“We have no doubt that our collaboration with the government is essential in efforts to provide quality medicines for the public,” he said. (NAN)

Its about time this street drug hawkers is regulated and forced to work in tandem with doctor's priscription. They are really killing us (not for me sha, for those that patronize them) in this country. I pray other countries follow suit and the federal government too. Before you know it now, my umunna will start shouting that they are the target. Nigeria, I believe is the only country (if someone here can correct me) that one wakes up to go buy medicine in a pharmacy without doctor's priscription. It has to stop.

I am surprised at people's level of comprehension, even at simply write up like this. I guess most of the people responding to this trend do not understand the news. Ok, here is further explanation in clear language;
1. Lagos state medicine dealers association LSMDA ("Chemist sellers" and not the pharmacy stores) held their AGM
2. Lagos state house committee chairman on Health service was at the meeting
3. The house committee chairman pledged to work with the association to combat medicine hawkers
4 The chairman of LSMDA speaking in the interest of his members "promised to checkmate" his members while using the government to flush out competitors (hawkers). Hear him, “We have no doubt that our collaboration with the government is essential in efforts to provide quality medicines for the public,”.
5 The house committee chairman reaffirmed that the members of LSMDA (again "chemist sellers"wink would be protected as long as they are operating within the limits of the law.

Those calling Emzor, Orange drugs, Fidison, Juhel Healthplus and mediplus Juli etc have very little knowledge of this subject matter, because none of these big businesses are members of LSMDA. These people are either pharmacists or have employed dozens of pharmacists to cover their businesses and do not need the help of an umbrella association like LSMDA to operate, unlike the chemist sellers.

Now, the task for those brandishing tribal insults here is, take a careful look at the streets of Lagos and concluded for yourself which group (Igbo boys, Yoruba women or hausa mallams) is hawking drugs most on the streets. Then, draw the conclusion for your self who would be the worst victim of the crusade. You may want to start your investigation with the many Evening bus stop/Junction markets in Lagos.
