Sequel to the last judgement delivered by the court of appeal ordering kano medicine dealers to vacate Niger street/sabon gari market and to relocate to the coordinated wholesale centre at dangwauro, kano, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control NAFDAC and the Pharmacist Council of Nigeria PCN have warned manufacturers, importers, company representatives, and all distributors to from this very moment cease supplying, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and other regulated medical products to facilities or companies in Niger Street, Sabon Gari market, or elsewhere outside the coordinated wholesale centre in dangwauro, kano state.
The two regulatory agencies say this is to ensure good distribution of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, etc., and prevent circulation of substandard and falsified medicines in the market.
The agencies however, warned that any company found doing this risks losing the site license as well as the product license. retailers, hospitals and others should also take note.
