Former Director General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and ex minister of Information, Professor Dora Akunyili, has died according to family source.
Dr Akunyili made an indelible impact during her tenure as Director General of Nigeria’s National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and her legacy will live on.
After Akunyili took over leadership of NAFDAC, she established as a top priority the eradication of counterfeit drugs and unsafe food. Before Akunyili assumed duty, Nigeria became a place where fake and substandard foods and drugs were being dumped without any form of regulations.

Igbo Leaders - Jonathan May be Nigeria’s Last President
Igbo Leaders of Thought, a group of prominent Igbo political leaders, rose from a meeting in Enugu State on Wednesday with a warning that President Goodluck Jonathan may become the last president of a united Nigeria, if politicians from the North East and North West continue to sponsor the activities of the Boko Haram sect.
The group maintained that the terror campaign of the sect was an ethno/religious war being waged by unnamed Northern political leaders who seek to take control of the Presidency.
The group, led by Prof. Ben Nwabueze, made this assertion in a statement by its Deputy Secretary, Evang. Elliot Uko, and the Leader of the Igbo Women Assembly, Chief Mrs Mariah Okwor.
