Pharmacists under the auspices of the Association of Community Pharmacists of Nigeria, ACPN, have called for equity in appointments in the health sector, blaming the poor health system on what they described as ‘greed and avarice.
The pharmacists alleged that greed on the part of the professional group in the sector has continued to encourage the inequitable spread of privileges and resources of players in the sector to the detriment of consumers of health.
In a press statement made available to Good Health Weekly and tagged: “We Must Save the Health System in Our Country Now” and jointly signed by the National Chairman, Dr. Samuel Adekola, and the National Secretary, Pharm. Ambrose Ezeh noted that consumers of health had been short-changed by the Government and providers.

The management of the Federal Polytechnic, Bida has raised the alarm over an alleged plot by the institution’s chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP-BD) to get the rector, Dr Abubakar Abdul Dzukogi, removed by any means, including instituting several court cases challenging the reappointment of the rector.
The polytechnic stated this in a statement issued by its public relations officer (PRO) Mallam Hussaini Enagi and made available to journalists on Friday in Bida, stressing that the reappointment of the rector was right and proper, highlighting that clarification has been obtained from the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and the Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation (OHCSF).
