The National Association President, Mr Olakunle Williams who gave this hint at the annual general meeting with the theme, ‘Quackery in Pest and Vector Management- A Threat to Public Health and Environmental Development,’ said the group will not henceforth allowed unqualified pest controllers activities because of its dangers to human health and environment.

The two-day events began with road walk to Lagos Government Secretariat and its environs entire Ikeja, with the aim of sensitising the public on dangers of patronising quack fumigators, saying “quack pest controller is someone operating without a qualified certificate and documentation.”

“This group has come up with different strategies to be adopted in addressing this problem of quackery, part of which is training which this 2021 AGM would give.

“I believe quacks wherever they may be, will avail themselves the window of opportunity by  embracing the olive branch being extended to them by the PECAN for them to come for Trainings so that they can stop their evil works before the long arm of the law  catches up with them,” Mr Williams said.

He encouraged all members of the association to be in the same spirit in fighting the war against the quackery in the profession.
