The Lagos State Traditional
Medicine Board has sealed the facilities of illegal traditional medicine
practitioners in Ikorodu area of the State in its quest to rid Lagos of
unwholesome practices.
Speaking on the exercise,
Mr. Kemi Kadiku, Director of LSTMB, stated that members of its Task Force acted
on the information received from representatives in Ikorodu Local Government
Area where the team discovered many fake and unregistered facilities.
According to him,
“Our Task Force gang got
reliable information from our men on ground at Ikorodu that many Traditional
Medicine practitioners are operating illegally and unhindered in the community.
“When our team later went
for inspection, we uncovered lots of noticeable infractions which led to the
sealing of six facilities and their owners asked to report at the Board for
regularisation”.
Kadiku also commended
Prince Olusesi Mare, the supervisor of Ikorodu Task Force gang for doing a
great surveillance job ahead of LSTMB’s visit which made the monitoring
exercise easier.
He reiterated the
determination of the Board to reposition traditional medicine practice in the
State, advising all traditional healers to liaise with the Board in registering
and regularising their practices according to laid down rules and regulation in
the State.
