<p>The Association of Patent and Proprietary Medicine Vendors (PPMVs) in Kano State has threatened to embark on a warning strike if the Pharmaceutical Council of Nigeria (PCN) does not stop what it described as persistent pressure on its members.</p><div class="J2rtgFss" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>The chairman of the association in Kano State, Comrade Aminu Hikima, disclosed this in an interview with Dala FM Radio, where he expressed concern over what he described as increasing pressure being exerted on members of the association by the regulatory body.</p>
<p>According to Hikima, the association would be forced to take industrial action as a means of drawing attention to the concerns of its members if the situation is not addressed.</p>
<p>Hikima said the planned warning strike was not the association&#8217;s preferred option, stressing that its members would rather see the issues resolved through dialogue and intervention by the relevant authorities.</p>

<p>The Kano State chairman appealed to the PCN to reconsider its approach and stop actions that the association believes are putting unnecessary pressure on chemists operating across the state.</p>

<p>He said members of the association were willing to cooperate with regulatory authorities and comply with lawful requirements, but urged the PCN to ensure that its activities did not unnecessarily disrupt the operations of legitimate medicine vendors.</p>
<p>Hikima also called on the Kano State Government to urgently intervene in the dispute between the association and the PCN in order to prevent the situation from escalating into a warning strike.</p>
<p>The association&#8217;s chairman said government intervention was necessary to bring the parties together, address the grievances raised by its members and find a lasting solution to the disagreement.</p>
<p>Hikima further urged the state government to treat the matter as a priority because any disruption in the activities of medicine vendors could have consequences for residents who depend on them for access to medicines and other pharmaceutical products.</p>
<p>He maintained that the association remained committed to working with the government and regulatory authorities to ensure that medicine-related businesses operate within the law while protecting the interests of its members.</p>
<p>The warning by the Kano chemists comes amid calls for greater engagement between medicine vendors and regulatory authorities to resolve disagreements through dialogue rather than industrial action.</p>
