Nigeria’s former minister of information, Dora Akunyili, is seriously sick., the former NAFDAC DG’s condition has deteriorated so much that her doctor advised that “waiting till Monday before flying her abroad might be too late.”
News of Akunyili’s illness made waves last month when pictures of her taken during the ongoing national conference in Abuja in which she is a delegate, surfaced in the media. The bubbly Akunyili had so emaciated that many questioned why she accepted the call to attend the conference instead of attending to her health. She however insisted that she had recovered and only needed to add some weight.
