The Court of Appeal has again affirmed the regulatory powers of the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (PCN) over pharmaceutical technologists and technicians.
A statement from the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria, yesterday said the appellate court sitting in Calabar, Cross River State, recently dismissed an appeal by the National Association of Pharmaceutical Technologists and Pharmacy Technicians of Nigeria (NAPPTON) and three others seeking to be independent in regulation matters as it relates to its members. While dismissing the suit in favour of the council, the Court of Appeal, in a unanimous decision, upheld the contention of the respondents that PCN did not breach the fundamental human rights of members of the association, when it sealed shops in Calabar operated by members of the association, which were not duly registered.
“This decision has finally put to rest the mischief employed by members of NAPPTON in claiming to have powers to register and issue licenses to its members to establish drug sales outlets,” the statement said.
