Late Dora Akunyili’s Daughter, Chidiogo Pens This Heartwarming Message To Remember Her Mother


Professor Dora Nkem Akunyili and Chidiogo Akunyilil-Parr

It is quite difficult to forget Professor Dora Akunyili as she was one of the best Director Generals NAFDAC ever had.

So it came as a shock when she passed away on June 7, 2014, after a 2-year battle with ovarian cancer.

Four years have gone by and she still remains in our hearts. In memory of her, one of her children, Chidiogo Akunyil-Parr, took to her Instagram page to pen this heartwarming message.

She wrote;

It’s been four years since your body left this world. It’s been everyday that your spirit remains strong. Thank you for inspiring me to write your story. Thank you for all the ways you guide and love us, your children that are so many more than your biological ones.
For me, this past weekend and the many miracles of the day fills me with the continued knowing that you are with us.
Your life is a story of strength arising from the ashes of struggles — the deeper your scars, the stauncher was your fight and spirit of justice and truth. I look forward to sharing with the world the power of conviction and the courage needed to follow through.
