Mohammed said PCN’s enforcement teams across Nigeria have stepped up the tempo of its activities nationwide, in keeping pace with the determination to sanitize the pharmaceutical practice environment, thus warning people engaging in illegal pharmaceutical activities to desist from that or risk arrest and prosecution.
The PCN Registrar confirm that the leadership of the Council undertook accreditation exercise to several institutions offering pharmaceutical sciences, to ensure that they are up-to-date with their courses and don’t derail from the standard practice.
