The Emir, who ascended the Zazzau Emirate on 7 October, 2020; as her first Emir from the Mallawa ruling house in 100 years, said improved training of students is imperative, as the practice of Pharmacy has transcended the borders of drugs dispensing.

Speaking during a courtesy visit of some members of the Kaduna State PSN-YPG to his palace, the monarch expressed his deep admiration for Pharmacy, which made him convinced his daughter to study Pharmacy.

To be a certified pharmacist, it is mandatory to pass through the four walls of an approved pharmacy institution. There are over twenty universities offering Pharmacy as a degree courses in Nigeria.
