Depoliticising The War Against Fake Drugs

[Shola Sholaz]

I was distressed by the reports in some newspapers on May 1, this year, that a group of youth in Benue State attacked, in protest, the Director General of National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, Dr Paul Botwev Orhii and some officials of the agency at the destruction site for counterfeit medicines along the University of Agriculture, Makurdi, UAM, Gbajima Road, on the outskirts of Makurdi, the state capital.
.
But the agency had to swiftly react to the report, describing it as untrue.  The image maker of the agency, Alhaji Abubakar Jimoh, said no such thing happened-that Dr Orhii was not anywhere near the destruction site let alone attacked by the angry youth.  Subsequent checks had confirmed the agency's position to be the correct version of the narratives in a section of the print media.

Fake Drugs must be taken away totally from this country. It is of no use to Nigerians. It only kills and does nothing else.

Fake drugs are no good to anyone so actions must be taken against it immediately because it cause bad havocs.
