Prof Dora Akunyili Family Set to Honour Late Husband Four Years after Demise
Hi Dear, thanks for visiting! Like our FB Page or Follow Us Twitter for Regular News Updates!
The family of Late former NAFDAC DG and Minister of information, Professor Dora Akunyili are set to honor their late patriarch soon.
The children have announced they would be organising a special remembrance for their patriarch with a free medical outreach on his death anniversary, September 28, an annual tradition to honour the late surgeon. The outreach will take place at his hospital premises, St. Leo’s Hospital, Nike Lake Road, Trans-Ekulu in Enugu, to commemorate his passing and to provide free healthcare services for those who are in need.
The free medical outreach is being done to keep the good memory of their father, who is known for treating the downtrodden and the seminarians for more than four decades at no cost, an act of kindness that earned him the Papal Knight of St. John International.
A surgeon dedicated to his patients, Chike Akunyili was on the frontline to ameliorate the people’s suffering. Brainy and hardworking, he was, no doubt, one of the greatest minds to have come from Anambra State. But on September 28, 2021, he was brutally murdered in broad daylight by Nigeria’s ubiquitous “unknown gunmen.”
His death shook the country, not only because he was the husband of the late Prof Dora Akunyili, but also for his contribution to the nation’s medical industry.
