As a UNILAG student, I’ve learned that having a few reliable pharmacies nearby is a lifesaver. For regular medications or sudden illnesses, I usually go to Mascot Pharmacy or HealthPlus around Akoka they’re just a short walk from campus, usually well-stocked, and the staff know students often need quick service.
I also keep a couple of smaller local chemists in mind for emergencies, especially when I need over-the-counter medicine like paracetamol, ORS, or cough syrup late in the evening. For prescrip tion drugs, I always check prices at two or three pharmacies to avoid overpaying.
For me, knowing which pharmacies are reliable and close means I can focus on lectures and assignments without stressing about getting medicines or health essentials
