PCN Registrar urges Esut graduates to choose standard over wealth:Ibrahim Ahmed, Registrar of the Pharmacy Council of Nigeria (PCN),

has urged 68 graduands of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences,

Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT), to resist

the temptation of prioritizing wealth over ethical standards in their practice.

Ahmed emphasized that the pharmacy profession is a service-oriented field aimed at saving human lives, and that the pursuit of wealth at the expense of ethical standards

would lead to severe consequences.

During the oath-taking and induction ceremony, Ahmed encouraged

the graduands to maintain high ethical standards and leadership qualities,

as prescribed by the PCN. He stressed the importance of strict compliance to the Code of Professional Ethics, which outlines their professional and moral

responsibilities to patients, colleagues, and the general public.

worthy ambassadors of ESUT by upholding professional conduct in their practice.

Okolie expressed his desire for private investors to partner with ESUT

to establish manufacturing outfits and demonstration laboratories,

which would enhance the university’s reputation and provide students with hands-on experience.

for Health in Imo State, encouraged the graduands to embrace failure

as an opportunity for growth and excellence. He emphasized the importance

of having big dreams, which provides direction and increases potentialities.
