On the 7th of June, 2014, Nigeria lost one of her most illustrious daughters. Prof. Dora Nkem Akunyili distinguished herself by her great accomplishments in public service.

As Director General of the National Agency for Food Drug Administration and Control, she demonstrated, practically and unforgettably, that with the right kind of leadership, it is possible to reform the food and drug industry for the benefit of Nigerian people. She built a world-renowned system, which significantly tackled the proliferation of fake drugs and unlicensed manufacture of fake drugs and unwholesome foods.
