Imagine; they're taking jobs away from Nigerians, but still want to sell them their products.
The environment is not conducive for operations, but good for sales.
Exploitation much.

The worst part is that most Nigerians don't even see they're being cheated, making excuses for these companies, and blaming the government for everything.
The government already has a policy that would thoroughly regulate importation and distribution of any company's drugs in Nigeria and that is the National Drug Distribution Guidelines (NDDGs) which had been developed at a time dating back to Obasanjo's administration. The problem is that successive goverments had lacked the political will to implement the policy.

If we can have those guidelines fully functional, we wouldn't have to worry about people importing substandard GSK and other company's products since the NDDG would ensure quality control of all drugs being distributed to any parts of the country.

What Nigerians need to do now is get the federal government implement their own policy and stop pandering to those who don't want the status quo changed in our drug markets due to their selfish interests.
