Dr. Bodiya Buma, Commissioner for Health, who disclosed this weekend, said Governor Agbu Kefas has given the ministry a march to checkmate activities of quackery in the profession.
He said the task force will comprise only medical professionals, and security agencies to ensure that the state ceases to become a dumping ground for fake drugs.
“The Governor has asked us to look into the existing regulatory bodies to collaborate with them to achieve our set-up goals.”
“There are regulatory bodies but over the years funding has been a major problem.
