The Governor described the late NAFDAC Director-General as a fountain ?of knowledge and professional expertise, who exuded servant leadership during her national service. The Governor’s remark was contained in a statement made available to Channels Television in Minna. “Professor Dora Akunyili was a leading example of patriotic leader for change. She believed in the Nigerian project and continued to champion her belief even till death. “We will continue to respect her courage which she expressed in good health and in sickness. She was indeed a symbol of hope for women in government, a symbol of hope for a better Nigeria as hope is not completely lost as we still have Nigerians who can offer themselves to true service.” The Governor, while praying for the repose of the deceased, prayed God to grant her husband, children and family members the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
