Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has declared wholesale trade and distribution of pharmaceutical commodities at the Sabon-Gari Open Parket illegal.

Subsequently, he directed dealers to vacate the spot and other cluster plazas or risk forceful eviction and prosecution.

While commissioning the facility in the ancient commercial city, Ganduje explained that Kano has contended with high rate of psychotropic and adulterated prescribed drugs due to population density. Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, lauded Kano for being the first to actualise the Federal Government’s guidelines on drug distribution 20 years after formation of the blueprint.

Ehanire hinted that the current administration was collaborating to safeguard public health, while encouraging reenactment of CWC in Lagos, Abia and Anambra states to outlaw open drug markets.
