Traditional medicine practitioners in Badagry have been urged to expose quacks among them for appropriate sanctions.
The advice was given by the the Chairman of Lagos State Traditional Medicine Board, Prof. Adebukunola Adefule-Ositelu.
According to a statement on Monday, Ositelu made the call during an advocacy and sensitisation programme held at Badagry.
She said, “The stage is now set for a zonal office to be opened in the ancient town, the same way the board established a zonal office in Ikorodu for traditional medicine practitioners within the axis.
Traditional medicine practitioners within Badagry should comply with the law by registering with the board.
“The state government is strongly dependent on the support and cooperation of practitioners as an arm of government and partners in progress in its efforts towards achieving enormous success in the field of health.
“Therefore, I urge practitioners to improve their practice through standardisation of their operations, proper book, and record-keeping as well as data collection, and expose fake or quack businesses within the Badagry Division to the board for appropriate sanction.”
