Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has expressed shock over the news of the passing away of the former Minister of Information, Professor Dora Akunyuli.
Hon Aminu Waziri Tambuwal,
In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs, Malam Imam Imam, Tambuwal described the deceased as a patriot whose tenacity and commitment to duty saved millions of Nigerians from untimely deaths due to effect of fake and substandard drugs.
He said her tenure as the Director General of the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) will be remembered as a glorious moment for Nigeria.
The Speaker described Akunyuli as a brilliant pharmacist whose compassion and concerns for the general wellbeing of the people was paramount.
While commiserating with her husband and other members of her immediate family over the loss, Tambuwal urged the Federal and Anambra State governments to immortalise her for the future generation to learn from her legacies.
