With 44 days remaining until IFEADIGO 2025 of the Association of Community Pharmacists of Nigeria (ACPN), we turn our attention to the abundant natural resources that Anambra State has to offer. Known for its large deposits of natural gas and crude oil in areas like Aguleri and Omambala, Anambra provides a fertile ground for industrial growth and innovation.

In addition to its energy resources, the state boasts high-quality clay soil, which is widely used in pottery and various industrial productions. This unique blend of natural assets has positioned Anambra as a notable hub for industrial activity, fostering development and entrepreneurial spirit among its residents.

Community pharmacists in Anambra have increasingly evolved into industrialists, leveraging their expertise and resources to contribute meaningfully to the economy. This transformation is a testament to the innovative spirit present in the region, where individuals are not only focused on healthcare but also on harnessing local resources for broader industrial advancement.

At "IFEADIGO 2025," taking place from July 22 to 27, 2025, at the International Conference Center in Awka, we invite you to come and learn at the potters' feet. This is an excellent opportunity for community pharmacists to explore how the principles of innovation and industrial growth can enhance practice. Together, we will discuss ways to integrate technology and personalized care into our profession, aligning with the conference theme, “Technology Integration and Personalized Care: The Future of Community Pharmacists’ Practice in Nigeria.”

Join us as we delve into the endless possibilities presented by Anambra's resources, and be inspired to transform your practice and contribute to the burgeoning industrial landscape in the state. Stay tuned for more updates as we count down to IFEADIGO 2025!
