The Kano State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to protecting public health and curbing the circulation of substandard drugs.

This follows the seizure of counterfeit medicines worth over N200 million in the state.

The seizure was carried out by the Kano State Committee on Motor Parks and Other Public Places during a raid within the Kano metropolis.

The Director, Public Enlightenment, Ministry of Information and Internal Affairs, Balarabe Abdullahi-Kiru, made the disclosure in a statement issued to Newsmen in Kano on Sunday.

According to the statement, the drugs confiscated during the operation lacked approval from the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control.
