The House of Representatives has called for  ban on the Hawking of Drugs in Market Places, Motor Parks and other prohibited areas.  

To this end, the House has mandate the Committee on Healthcare Services to liaise with the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and other relevant agencies to work out modalities on how to eradicate the menace, and report back to the House within four weeks for further legislative action. 
This resolution emanated from a motion moved by Garba Mohammed and unanimously adopted by the House through a voice vote.
Mohammed decried that most of the drugs being dispensed by these hawkers are either fake or have expired, adding that people who have innocently purchased them end up in critical conditions or ultimately death. 
He expressed worry that these hawkers who abound in parks, bars, markets and other areas do not have pharmaceutical or medical qualifications. 
He noted that these hawkers go  as far as prescribing drugs to ignorant and unsuspecting Nigerians who buy them because of their cheapness and availability. 
The lawmaker expressed worry that despite the ban on illegal sale of drugs, this practice of hawking has continued to thrive.
The House therefore urged the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) to sensitize the public on the dangers of hawking drugs and patronizing the hawkers.
