Lagos State Seals 29 Illegal Pharmacies & Chemists


It is so good to know that 29 illegal pharmacies and chemists have been shut down by the Lagos State Government.

On Monday, officials of the Lagos State Taskforce on Fake, Counterfeit and Unwholesome Processed Foods raided the patent stores and shut them down for operating without being registered with the government.

The Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Ministry of Health, Modele Osunkiyesi explained that the shops were sealed off for various offences contrary to the provisions of the law on the operation of Pharmacies and Patent Medicine stores in Lagos State.

He noted that the latest closure was coming on the heels of the government’s renewed mandate to rid the state of fake, substandard and illegal drugs’ operators and outlets as well as ensuring high drug quality.

Thus far, most of the affected patent stores are in the Lekki-Ajah axis of the state.
