The Pharmacy Council of Nigeria (PCN) recently concluded a statewide enforcement operation in Kwara State, resulting in the closure of 724 pharmaceutical and patent medicine facilities. The closures were prompted by violations and a lack of proper licensing. PCN Registrar Ibrahim Babashehu Ahmed warned the public against purchasing medications from unauthorized outlets, emphasizing the risks to public health. The enforcement exercise aimed to curb the proliferation of counterfeit and substandard drugs within the state. Authorities are actively working to ensure that only licensed and regulated pharmacies operate in Kwara State. This action underscores the PCN’s commitment to safeguarding the health and well-being of citizens by maintaining standards in the pharmaceutical sector. Further details were provided during a press briefing in Ilorin.
