FG To Shut Down All Illegal Drugs Dealers…..

null

The federal government will on July 1 commence the implementation of the National Drug Distribution Guidelines (NDDGs), in a move to ensure the organised drug distribution system in the country is strengthened.

Regulatory agencies like the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (PCN) and NAFDAC will therefore resume the exercise of their mandate to ensure full compliance on this day.

According to the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Health, Linus Awute, there is a need to put an end to the open drug market.

“We are hopeful that the existence of open drug markets in the country will be a thing of the past as the drug distribution system of the country has remained uncoordinated, chaotic and has resulted in the circulation of fake, adulterated, substandard and counterfeit drugs.”

Awute added that the chaotic drug distribution poses a very big challenge to the pharmaceutical sector in particular and the federal
government in general considering the negative impact the situation has on the entire health care delivery system of the country…..

JAMB Change of Course/Institution Finally Close

This is to inform all JAMB candidates, who would want to effect a change in either of any of their Courses or Institutions, that this service and procedure has been extended and the final date now ends on Friday, 26th June, 2015 (No more extensions). Friday is the last day you can make payments in any bank for the change of course/institution to be carried out.

Please avoid trying to play smart by waiting to see if your current school of choice would release cut-off, before taking a decision to make your changes. Based on history, schools will not release their post-UTME cut-off or procedures until the change of course is over, no matter the extension.

Do your research based on previous post-UTME cut-offs and information and effect your changes immediately. Please DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE…..

“I was coming from Sagamu side and saw the accident. I had to hurriedly park my car, run to the scene to see if the passengers could be rescued but unfortunately all the occupants were dead including the driver. The bus was facing Lagos, but I dont know where it was coming from. The driver of the truck carrying an empty container was coming from Sagamu axis but was driving against traffic and that resulted in the collision, which eventually claimed the lives of the innocent people” the eye witness said.
