Dr. Obidike explained that the project had first been approved of in 2016 but had been delayed due to numerous challenges and he applauded Prof. Charles Soludo, the state governor, for his political will in fulfilling one of his health mandates to the Anambra people by facilitating the CWC and giving his approval for the open drug markets to be moved to the CWC in Oba.
He stated that when it is completed, the project would assist in reducing the morbidity and mortality rate of Anambra citizens and Nigerians in general as he lamented that fake drugs have destroyed the life of many Nigerians.
According to him, the establishment of the CWC will help in providing huge job opportunities in an organised system, both skilled and unskilled, as well as having a positive economic impact on the state.
“I appreciate the Federal and state government for embracing this strategy aimed at sanitising the drug distribution system in the state and Nigeria at large.”
