The Association of Industrial Pharmacists of Nigeria (NAIP) has commended the management of Katchey Laboratory Limited for the crucial role the organisation is playing not just for the pharmaceutical industry but the entire country by rendering efficient services to ensure that what Nigerians consume is safe.
The National Chairman of the association, pharm. Ken Onuegbu made the commendation on Thursday when he led some executive members of the association, including a former National Chairman, Pharm. Gbenga Falabi, on a tour of the Katchey laboratory facility.
The association used the tour to present an Excellent Quality Award to the company in recognition of its exceptional service it’s rendering to the pharma industry and the country at large.
In his remarks, Pharm. Onuegbu noted that after the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) that represents the government, Katchey Laboratory is about the only laboratory in the country that is rendering such essential service.
The NAIP Chairman stated that the association considered the organisation as its operating partner, adding that the association is proud to be identified with the company.
“Katchey Laboratory has been doing wonderful work not just for the pharma industry but for Nigeria as a whole. The name has been ringing a bell. The company has been a symbol of encouragement.
Outside the government, it is Katchey Laboratory that has been doing the wonderful job to ensure that Nigeria doesn’t consume poisonous food or drug. NAIP is proud to be associated with Katchey Laboratory”, Pharm. Ken said.
