President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has received with shock and sadness, news of the sudden and untimely death of Professor Dora Akunyili, former Minister of Information and Communications.
The President believes that Professor Akunyili will live long in the memories of those who were privileged to know her as a diligent professional, a public-spirited and forthright public officer, and as a person of great convictions.President Jonathan considers her contributions to nation-building while she served as the Director-General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), and as Minister of Information and Communications, particularly invaluable.
The President states that it is sad that her death has come at a time she was making further efforts to help sustain and strengthen the unity and stability of the country in her capacity as a member of the on-going National Conference. Without any doubt, she will be greatly missed.
President Jonathan commiserates with the Akunyili family, the government and people of Anambra State, members of the National Conference and all her loved ones.
He prays that the Almighty in His infinite mercies will grant them the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss of this truly distinguished citizen and patriot.

May her soul rest in perfect peace,amen!
this kind of loss is just too much to bear. this woman "is" one of the greatest Nigerians, (I used "is" cos I'm still in denial)
I wonder if GEJ feels bad. She risked everything to publish her famous memo demanding that Yaradua's absence should be explained or he should step aside. That was political suicide for a Minister as she was then and it paved the way for GEJ to be President. GEJ should have rewarded that act but he did not now he is praising her. Life... RIP, great lady.
this is too huge a loss. God give us the heart to bear. give her family the fortitude to bear this loss.
☹
May her soul continue to rest in peace..

in 2014 no woman should die from cervical cancer. its one of the most treatable form of cancers. please every woman of child bearing age to menopause should have a pap smear test once every year. RIP prof Dora
Honestly, this woman deserves a one day mourning in Nigeria. She lived a life worthy of emulation and her principles was second to none. RIP.

Making num wht positn of Nattional Conference death? Wz it a conference of death...#jst curious#
Other papers say she died of Ovarian cancer. Which one is it? Maybe there would be more discussion on the disease so other lives can be saved.
May her soul rest in peace. She was the best thing that ever happened to Nigeria.
No doubt about it that Nigeria has lost a rare human,Anambra state,we just lost a mother,wife,sister and irreplaceable HERO !
What a heartless death,what a shameless death.why not wipe out all those boko haram in place of mommy,why death, why ????
