#HNNPersonality Meet Roli George, #Nigeria's Drug Enforcement Lady.

Mrs Roli George Nigeria's Drug Enforcement Chief

Big job for her but the best thing yet is that she's banned Toradol (Tramadol) from any kind of dispensing without a prescription. Here in Nigeria, Pharmacy is NOT regulated and thus you can buy everything OTC. There is a huge rash of crimes, beheadings and other crazy stuff blamed on people who ingested Tramadol before committing heinous crimes.
