Overview

Pharmacy Politics in Nigeria exposes the power structures that shape pharmaceutical practice, regulation, and health policy and explains why pharmacists remain largely excluded from decision-making. Moving beyond dispensing and regulation, the book shows how politics, rather than expertise, drives leadership appointments, policy outcomes, and professional influence. Grounded in Nigeria's health governance history and real institutional experience, it examines key actors such as the Federal Ministry of Health, NAFDAC, PCN, PSN, and the National Assembly, while contrasting pharmacy's marginalisation with the political dominance of the Nigerian Medical Association. Clear and practical, the book sets out actionable pathways for pharmacists to gain influence through professional leadership, party politics, strategic appointments, legislative engagement, and networking. It also tackles often-ignored issues including donor influence, budget politics, weak enforcement, and the real cost of professional neutrality. Written for pharmacists, students, policymakers, and health leaders, Pharmacy Politics in Nigeria is an essential guide for anyone serious about shaping pharmaceutical policy and healthcare leadership in Nigeria.
