SKG Pharma Limited, makers of a wide range of pharmaceutical products, recently had its trade partner’s conference in Lagos. The conference is an annual event aimed at rewarding and engaging the company’s core trade partners across the nation on challenges and profitability in the pharmaceutical trading business.

Okey Akpa, managing director of SKG Pharma Limited, said: “The essence of this trade conference is to encourage and get feedback on profitability and challenges faced in the last year and how we can help with those challenges in order to bring about profitability in business.

It is my conviction this year will be better than last year, as we break new grounds in the industry.”

The most outstanding trade partners from every state and region of the country were recognised and appreciated with awards plaques and gifts. The top three trade partners for 2017 were Onuachu Chijioke of Jaymor Pharmacy, Chizoba Okeke of Jonaco Pharmacy, and Ignatus Onah of New Health Pharmacy, respectively.

The event also witnessed the unveiling of the latest product from the stable of SKG Pharma: Lumal Dispersible Malaria Tablets. Specifically formulated to address the treatment needs of children within the age group of 0-5. Lumal is pleasant tasting disperses easily in small amount of water and has the accurate dosage of 20/120ml.

Marketing manager, SKG Pharma Limited, Victoria Okon, while presenting the new product, said, “For a while there has been a dearth in acquiring and administering the accurate malaria drug for infants in this part of the world. Malaria tablets are forcefully given to kids because of the unpleasant taste. This has the most unsatisfactory result as most times, the dosage is not right and children will naturally spill it out of their mouths.

With Lumal dispersible malaria tablets, administration will be easier, resulting to effective treatment of the malaria fever in kids.”

Managing director of SKG Pharma Limited, Akpa, urged trade partners to patronise quality products made in Nigeria, as it was one way to create job opportunities and improve the wellbeing of the economy.
