All may have come and since gone on June 26th,2020, the World official day set aside by the United Nations for the campaign against drug abuse,but what customers and the entire patronage of Cynflac pharmacy, Bayelsa’s adjudged best and most customer friendly Pharmaceutical sales outfit may not have known over the years is/are the hidden talents and sterling professionalism with which Pharmacist,Anthony Samuel,General manager of the organisation handles issues as it concerns the health and wellness of Bayelsans.
Pharmacist Samuel,a non indigene however has not left any stone unturned as he brought his professional prowess to bare his mind to the media that has dashed to his office on the afore stated day against the abuse of drugs.
The light complexioned,receptive fellow never hid a thing as regards the unlawful use of control drugs by unauthorized persons. The truth be told, he said, this years theme: “Better knowledge for better care” suits the times.
It was at this juncture that the very humble fellow began to outpour his desires to relentlessly continue in his fight against drug abuse in collaboration with the statutory illegal drugs fighting agencies and more.
The Media men who were left perplexed with Pharmacist Samuel’s patriotic spirit in getting rid of illicit drugs,especially controlled ones which in particular interests him were proud that indeed in Nigeria there are still those who know their onion,as the Pharmacist thrilled them with his intellectual capabilities and devotion to making his clients even more appreciative of his services when unlike many Pharmaceuticals in parts of the country are alleged to have made themselves and the media sworn enemies when he pointed at a corner in his office,Saying my brothers you see here the controlled drugs are kept and not sold without a Doctor’s prescription.
Pharmacist Samuel filled with sympathy for victims of drug abuse like very few other professionals would do also showed his golden heart when he selflessly pleaded with youths to access the ongoing CBN Covid-19 loan to start up their business ventures which could minimise drug addiction, saying an idle mind could become a tool in the hands of illicit drugs with heavier consequences.
