The director said the affected practitioners were clampdown upon for offenses such as, “Sale of medicines in the open drug markets, operating without registration with Pharmacy Council of Nigeria, Non-renewal of premises certificates, non-pharmacists having access and dispensing controlled medicines.”

Other offences are “Stocking and sales of medicine above the approved medicine list for Patent Medicine Vendors, Engaging in Clinical Practice, Poor documentation, poor storage facilities, stocking of ethical products without the supervision of a pharmacist among others.” 

The director also hinted that 14 compliance directives were issued as the council is currently strengthening its state and zonal offices to properly position them to effectively carry out their regulatory mandate with the aim of ensuring that Nigerians access medicines that are safe, effective and of good quality at all times and in all locations.

He said PCN which is a federal government parastatal charged with the responsibility of regulating, controlling, educating, training and practice of pharmacy in line with the Pharmacy Council of Nigeria establishment Act 2022 will stop at nothing in sanitizing the pharmacy industry.
