and ex minister of Information, Professor Dora Akunyili, has died In
Read official statement written on her facebook Page
PROF. (MRS.) DORA AKUNYILI IS DEAD
On behalf of the Akunyili's family, I wish to officially confirm the
death of Prof. (Mrs.) Dora Nkem Akunyili, OFR, in a Specialist Cancer
Hospital in India this morning at 10 am, Nigerian Time, after a two-year
battle with cancer.
In spite her illness, Prof. Akunyili was unwavering in her belief in a
better Nigeria. That was why she defied her condition and was part of
Anambra State Handover Committee and the National Conference.The last time I visited her in India, even when she needed all the
prayers herself, she was full of concern for the abducted Chibok girls,
security and other challenges facing the country and told me that she
remained prayerful for the release of those girls and for God to help
President Goodluck Jonathan to overcome all the challenges facing the
Nation. She therefore urged all Nigerians to remain prayerful and
committed to building a better society for our children. We all prayed
together and I promised to be visiting her every month.We thank all those who remain fervent in prayers for her recovery and
urge them to remain prayerful for the peaceful repose of her soul.Mr. Peter Obi, CON.Saturday, June 7, 2014
May her soul rest in perfect peace! Such a great Role Model!
