Is this allowed by NAFDAC etc. What are the requirements to pen a pharmacy shop in Nigeria. What licences should you have especially if you are not a pharmacy degree holder or a doctor/nurse. Is it even possible/ allowed?

It’s all illegal as long as long as u ain’t a Pharamacist.. even a pharmacologist, pharmaceutical scientist, Doctors aren’t allowed or licensed to run a drug store.....But this is nigeria, we all find a way around everything

what people do is open the drug store and get the license of a registered Pharamacist and his consent and hang it at the shop ...so technically when health task force/ compliance team show up....you, the real owner become an ordinary sales rep while ur “Oga” (the owner of the license on the wall) has gone out...afterall, it’s not a crime for one Pharamacist to have plenty shops

But don’t be greedy by selling drugs not allowed...that’s how my friend got his license suspended.... the foolishh Igbo boy he helped with his license sold lexotan to a task force office who pretended to be a random walk-in customer

This is what I was told. Technically a Licence holder can open multiple shops.
Thanks for your input.
