Dora Akunyili’s Children Celebrate Her Legacy on 12th Memorial Anniversary
The children of late Professor Dora Akunyili, former Director-General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), have described their mother as a lioness who dedicated her life to serving Nigerians with passion, integrity and commitment until her last breath.
The children made the remarks in a joint statement issued to commemorate the 12th memorial anniversary of the former NAFDAC boss.
According to them, their mother was known for her kindness, humility and willingness to help others regardless of their status.
“She showed kindness and generosity to everyone whether great or small. She served people with humility and diligence. Even as busy as she was, she attended to everyone that came to her for help. She responded to every single text message that came to her phone and left no stone unturned. When people came to visit her in her office to seek employment, she would help them as much as she could. Even if she was not able to, she would give the person transport money for their journey,” they said.
