Professor Tijjani Mora, a professor of pharmacy, Chairman of the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (PCN), and Wakilin Maganin Zazzau of the Zazzau Emirate, has been awarded a national honor, OON by the Federal Government of Nigeria in recognition of his immense contributions to the field of pharmacy.

Recall that he received the Golden Leadership Icon Award from Presidential Diary Magazine in 2021.

The now-defunct Pharmacists Council of Nigeria operated from 1992 to 2022 (30 years), and he was the Registrar and its Chief Executive Officer from 2003 to 2012 (9 years).

In June 2020, he was inaugurated as the Chairman of the Governing Council of the PCN, and he was the only one in the history of the PCN to have served as Registrar through the interview process before he was appointed as the chair of the governing council in June 2020 and served until August 2022.

In August 2022, former President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, signed the Pharmacy Council of Nigeria (Establishment) Bill of 2022 of the National Assembly (NASS) into law, thus terminating the now defunct Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (PCN).

Professor Tijjani Mora was therefore the last Chairman of the Governing Council of the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (its 7th Council) and became the first Chairman of the Pharmacy Council of Nigeria (PCN) (its first Council) in August 2023. The new PCN has the life span of the Council at four (4) years and not three (3).

Professor Tijjani Mora is one of the 238 notable Nigerians awarded national honors in 2023 and the only pharmacist to make the list.
