Include us in your task force, pharmaceutical technologists tell Ayade

The Pharmaceutical Technologists/ Technicians Association of Nigeria Cross River State branch has called on the government of Ben Ayade to integrate its members into a task force which it (the government) plans to constitute. The association stated that any attempt to exclude its members from the task force would amount to relegating its members to the background.

Patron/ National Trustee Chairman in Council for Pharmaceutical Technologists and Technicians Association of Nigeria, Dr. Lawrence Henshaw, made the call in a post award of excellence interview with journalists in Calabar at the weekend.

Henshaw who was presented with an award of excellence for rendering selfless service to the society warned that any attempt to exclude his members from to the task force shall be resisted by the pharmaceutical technicians.

“Excluding my members from the task force would amount to sabotaging the effort of our members from excelling in their enterprise,” he said.

The association`s patron averred that the agitation became necessary so as not to allow the state branch of Pharmaceutical Council of Nigeria PCN, monopolise the drug dispensing market in the state.

“We want to be included in the task force so that we can also participate in the making of policy decisions that will protect the interestof both associations. “We will not accept a task force that is constituted, managed alone and run by the Pharmaceutical Council of Nigeria, PCN, which is a rival association to ours,” he said further.

Conte: Chelsea must learn to kill matches

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte says his side must learn to kill off matches quicker following their 3-2 League Cup win over Bristol Rovers. Michy Batshuayi scored two goals either side of a Victor Moses strike at Stamford Bridge to send the home side into the third round, but they were given a fright when the visitors twice halved a two-goal deficit through Peter Hartley and an Ellis Harrison penalty. The victory is Conte's third in competitive matches as Chelsea boss, following 2-1 wins over West Ham and Watford in the Premier League - both of which came about thanks to late goals from Diego Costa. And the former Italy boss wants his players to become more ruthless in their approach in order to prevent similarly nervy encounters in future.
