A year ago, on June 7, Professor Dora Akunyili passed away less than a month before her 60th birthday.
The former NAFDAC head and ex minister of information died at an Indian hospital. The whole country was thrown into mourning following the loss of a patriotic Nigerian.
Goodluck Jonathan, the immediate past president, yesterday took to his Facebook account to pay tribute to late Professor Akunyili:
“It was just a year ago that I was greeted with the shocking news of your passing. Hardly has Nigeria encountered an amazon such as you. A grateful nation remembers your services, which saved lives and advanced the cause of democracy. Continue to rest in peace Dora Akunyili. GEJ.”
R.I.P.
