The Pharmacy Council of Nigeria (PCN) is an agency of the federal government of Nigeria, established in 1992 to regulate and control the practice of pharmacy in Nigeria. Its responsibility is to oversee the practice of pharmacy across the country and supervise pharmaceutical education in Nigeria.
The council was previously known as the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria until 2022. After 2022, PCN became a government parastatal established by the Pharmacy Council of Nigeria Act 2022, charged with the responsibility of regulating and controlling pharmacy education, training and practice in all aspects and ramifications, including regulating pharmacy technicians and patent and proprietary medicines vendors (PPMVs).
