The Registrar of the Pharmaceutical Council of Nigeria, Dr Elijah Mohammed, has urged Nigerians to ask questions from pharmaceutical stores before buying drugs.
Elijah said this on the sidelines of the naming of auditorium, committee rooms in the new building within the premises of the Lagos zonal office after the former chairmen of the pharmacist board and the pharmacist council.
