From: Femi Oyelola, Kaduna

The Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (PCN), has attributed the insecurity bedeviling the country to easy access to psychotropic drugs by the youth.
The Chairman of the Council Prof. Ahmed Mora disclosed this during a one day sensitization workshop.
According to him, the youths easily pick these addictive drugs across the counter to abuse them even without prescription.
As a result of these ugly trent, Prof. Mora, said PCN has embarked on regulation of controlled and psychotropic drugs, as well as identifying fake drugs through the planned electronic registration of manufactured and imported drugs.
