The Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria has urged the Association of Professional Bodies of Nigeria to champion either a private member’s or even an executive bill that will compel the Federal Government to hand over the running of all professions to professional bodies in the country.
The President of PSN, Mr. Olumide Akintayo, stated this in Lagos during a meeting of professional bodies hosted by PSN.
According to him, the success story of some professional bodies that have regulated their professions suggest eloquent testimonies that could accrue from this move.
He said the militating bane against professionalism in Nigeria was the extremely wretched spirit of monitoring and control procedures which were the hallmark of regulating values and ethics.
Commenting on conflicts among different professional bodies in the country, the PSN President said conflict is a natural fallout of most human relationships, noting that the propensity to turn challenges into opportunities is usually one of the hallmarks of great and successful managers.
He said, ‘’It is imperative we put on record previous mediatory roles of the APBN in resolving inter-professional conflicts, a need still arises for the APBN to do even more to sustain/maintain the prestige of the various affected professions.
‘’ The APBN must build the myth to attain this goal for consumers of our various services to continue to perceive us as relevant in the years ahead.’’
He said the competition, confrontation and distrust in the health sector must give way to collaboration, consultation and cooperation in the interest of the health consuming public.
The Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria was founded in 1927 which makes it one of the oldest professional bodies in Nigeria. It is the umbrella template of about 22,000 registered and licensed pharmacists in Nigeria.
