It has been 3 solid months since I graduated from Pharmacy school, 7th Nov 2017- 7th Feb 2018🤗, it is required that as a fresh graduate you begin your Locum as a Pharmacist pending when your induction is fixed by the Pharmacy Faculty and Pharmacist Council Of Nigeria(PCN) and VC. So many of my colleagues who reside in Port Harcourt have been able to get attachment's in Community Pharmacy Outlets around Port Harcourt and are paid from 25,000-50,000 Naira😱, I even got an attachment at the famous Barata Pharmacy where I carried out my 6 months Industrial Training Experience.
But it happened that I had to return to Ebonyi state to help my parents, I am from Ebonyi state so I made up my mind to source for a Locum Space here in Abakaliki, Ebonyi state and render my services here.
I applied in several Pharmacy outlets but it happened that there were no vacancies in all the outlets ran by a licensed Pharmacist😞. By this I was mentally and emotionally demoralized for weeks of my staying idle at home😭.
Meanwhile my mum has a Sport Equipment and Stationary store in Abakaliki but the frustration of staying in the shop all day without selling even up to a 1thousand naira as at early 2017 was pulling me away from going to stay there after school, this was Dads business while we were at the North. Coming to Ebonyi we realized people do not engage in sports. Was more of a wrong business in a state like this so I was discouraged.
This is the interior of my parents Sport Store
Hurray 2018 came and Dad insisted the shop be managed by me henceforth, we fasted and prayed that this year be entirely different from last year and it's February already and I can jump and say that God truly answers prayers, God has opened doors in the shop this few months already and to be frank I don't even feel like searching for a Locum space anymore😂😋😄.
