Dora Akunyili
Dora Akunyili died on June 7 in Nigeria at 10am, Nigerian time after a two-year battle of cancer.
The Media Adviser to the late former Minister of Information and Communications, Mr. Isaac Umunna said that Akunyili’s husband, Chike; and her brother, Dr. Anayo Edemobi, confirmed to him on Monday that the remains of the ex-minister would be flown in before the end of the week.
Although no announcement has been made about her burial plans, Umunna said the reason being that a lot of consultations would be held before a programme could be drawn up.
He said, “As you can see from the mood of the people, all Nigerians have come to claim her as their own and Nigerians will be consulted before the programme will be drafted.
“There will be meetings with Anambra State Government, the Federal Government and other significant bodies that Prof. had served.
“One man alone will not decide when she will be buried.”
M ay Her Gentle Soul Rest in Perfect Peace.....Amen!
