Pharmacists in Nigeria, numbering thousands, have begun to hasten up preparations as the 95th Annual National Conference of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN) remains just 46 days to kick off.
The conference with the theme “Medicine Security in an Unstable Economy”, which will start on October 31st and end on November 5th, 2022, will be held at Chrispan Suites and Events Centre, Rayfield in Jos, Plateau state.
Speaking with CEOAFRICA on Thursday, September 15, the National President of PSN, Prof. Cyril Odianose Usifoh, said that the CPC lead by Pharm Victor Adekanye and the LOC for the conference have started final preparations and all arrangements have been done to have a hitch-free conference.
According to him, “As today is Thursday, it remains 46 days to our national conference. We are finalizing all the necessary preparations and every arrangement has been made. All our invited guests have given their full assurance of coming.”
Speaking on the conference, Usifoh further stated that the conference will be full of thought-provoking and highly educative lectures that will span through different aspects of Pharmacy.
He stressed that the conference will also enhance networking opportunity, by allowing pharmacists to meet their peers and front-liners in their chosen career and other things that interest them.
Recall that CEOAFRICA had earlier reported Plateau state’s eagerness to host the pharmacists, as stated by the state’s governor, Rt Hon. Barr. Simon Bako Lalong, whom he said have been helpful to the health and socio-economic development of the state.
The Governor stated this recently while receiving the National President of PSN and his delegation at the new Government House in Jos.
Lalong, who accepted to be part of the conference, said that the State Government will give all necessary support to ensure a successful National Conference, in line with the state’s history of hospitality and accommodation.
He observed that the choice of Jos as the host city for PSN National Conference is another testimony and dividend of the peace efforts that the Rescue Administration has put in place over the past seven years.
