The Inspector-General of Police, Acting IGP Suleiman Abba, has
reaffirmed the support of the Nigeria Police to the Pharmacists Council of
Nigeria (PCN) in its anti-counterfeiting enforcement measures. The IGP gave the
assurance when a delegation of the PCN, led by its Registrar, Pharmacist Elijah
Mohammed, paid him a courtesy visit at the Force Headquarters, Abuja.
While noting that the Nigeria Police have had an age-long
mutually beneficial relationship with the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria, the
IGP expressed the readiness of the Force to further strengthen its support to
the Council, adding that the Police have always been willing partners to
pharmacists in the fight against drug abuse and adulteration.
Earlier in his speech, the Registrar of the Council stated
that the essence of the visit was to congratulate the IGP on his new
appointment and further solicit the support and collaboration of the Nigeria
Police in the enforcement of the Rules and Regulations guiding the operation of
pharmaceutical premises and patent medicine vendors, noting that drug abuse has
posed a major security threat in Nigeria. High point of the visit was the
presentation of hand sanitizer and law books of the council to the IGP.
