Approves N80 million for agency’s take-off
Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has assented to the Drugs and Health Commodities Management Agency Bill.
The governor, while signing the bill into law in Ado-Ekiti, yesterday, as part of activities marking his third year in office, said N80 million had been approved as seed funding for the established agency.
He said that the bill would lay a solid legal background for the manufacturing, procurement, distribution, sales and management of drugs and medical commodities in the state.
The Commissioner for Health, Dr. Oyebanji Filani, noted that the establishment of the state central medical store lacked the adequate funding and systems to ensure efficient drug supply chains and zero stock-out.
