More tributes are pouring in for former Minister of Information and Communication, Dora Akunyili who breathed her last on Saturday in a Indian hospital after a long battle with cancer. Chidiogo, one of the daughters of the late former Director-General, National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC took to her facebook page to write a tribute to her late mum who she considered an inspiration.

“To many, she was an icon, to others, she was an inspiration, to me, she was my mother and all of the above. What I told her just last week stays with me, ‘I am your daughter, and you raised me, you have been in the midst of everything, mummy and that is the strength that is now mine and all of us your children. It is also the strength of a whole nation; you touched so many lives, and that is a blessing that must not be taken lightly. Thank you all my dear friends from the bottom of my heart for your kind words. Mummy, may your soul rest in eternal peace, one with God, who you loved and served above all else.”
