Anambra State Government has commended the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN) and Ogbogwu Drug Traders for peacefully resolving to relocate to the proposed Coordinated Wholesale Centre (CWC), Oba permanent site.
The Commissioner for Health, Dr. Vincent Okpala who stated this at the first joint extraordinary meeting of all subscribers of Central Pharmaceutical and Allied Products Wholesale Limited in Onitsha, said that Federal Government designed the CWC as a way of curbing fake drugs and promoting healthy living in Nigeria.
