As part of efforts to make unlimited wellness available to all and affordable by all, leading manufacturer and distributor of pharmaceutical products, Emzor Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, on Sunday unveiled six new products in addition to its products portfolio.
The newly unveiled products are Para 1000, Mutil Stop, Emzorphage 500, Azithromycin 500, Emzor Fluconazole, and Emzor Hydrochlorothiazide Tablet.
The products were unveiled at the company’s 18th Annual Thanksgiving Dinner held at the Muson Centre, Onikan, and Lagos on Sunday. The theme of the 2022 event was “Enter His Gate with Thanksgiving and His Court with Praise”.
In his remarks, the Chairman of the event, Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa, commended Emzor Group for the role the it is playing in the pharmaceutical industry, while urging every individual to learn an act of gratitude to God from the Okoli’s family.
“It has become a culture for Emzor to give thanks to God. Learn from the Okoli’s family. They gather people two to three times every year to thank God. They have the heart of gratitude and nobody can do that without having close relationship with God. Let us all have the heart of gratitude to God, even as a country, we need to be showing gratitude to God. Let us be hoping that the next year election will take Nigeria to its manifest destiny, as we continue to thank God”, Ohuabunwa said.
While speaking at the event, the Managing Director, Emzor Group, Dr Stella Okoli, revealed the secret of the company’s big feat in the industry, saying the organisation has been doing well not because she or the board has two heads or smarter but because the company is sold out for God.
She pointed out that the company already has five manufacturing plants and still counting. According to her, the organisation is the first company in Nigeria to have Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) plant, adding that the company now has over 200 over-the- counter products (OTC) and about 248 products in all.
“The reason we are doing well is not because we are smarter than others, it is because we are completely sold out for God. We will continue to thank God. God destined that there should be Emzor and that is why there is Emzor. This is why we are entering His gate with thanksgiving and His court with praise”, Dr Okoli said.
The wife of the Ogun State Governor, Mrs Bamidele Abiodun, commended the company for its continuous impact in the pharmaceutical industry. While urging every individual to cultivate the habit of giving thanks to God, Mrs Abiodun also charged every individual to always remember the less privileged around them.
In his ministration, the guest minister, who is the Continental Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Continental 1 (South- East Regions, South-South Regions, Lagos Regions 2, 37 Shomolu & North Africa 1), Pastor Kalu Ndukwe Kalu noted that Emzor has every reason to thank God.
According to him, one of the reasons to praise God is because thanksgiving is the only key to reach God. He said it is a good thing to thank God, adding that thanksgiving is a command given by God Himself in the book of second Thessalonian 5: 18. He therefore challenged everyone to always obey God by giving thanks always.
The organisation also used the occasion to shower long service award and recognition on some of its staff who have served the company meritoriously for 10, 15, 20 and 25 years, contributing immensely to enable the company accomplish its mission of making quality healthcare available and affordable to all.
The Executive Director, General Duties, Human Resources and Finance of the organisation, Mrs Uzoma Ezeoke; said the company gave the staff the award because they have added invaluable values to the organisation over the years. He urged them not to relent in their efforts to enable the company accomplish its goal.
Other guests present at the event are the former Ogun State Governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel; wife of the deputy Governor of Lagos State, Mrs Oluremi Hamzat; Acting Director General, National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Dr Monica Eimunjeze, among others.
