Dora Akunyili’s Children Share Family Photo For Thanksgiving

The children of the late Prof. Dora Akunyili and
Dr. Chike Akunyili have shared a heartfelt family
photo to mark Thanksgiving, honouring the
memory of their beloved parents.

In a post shared by Edozie John Akunyili on
social media, the family can be seen gathered
around a Thanksgiving feast, smiling and
radiating togetherness.

“Happy Thanksgiving from The Akunyilis, mum
and dad would be so proud in heaven,” Edozie
wrote.

The photo has warmed the hearts of many
Nigerians, evoking memories of the remarkable
contributions of their parents.

Prof. Dora Akunyili, a former Director General of
the National Agency for Food and Drug
Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and
Minister of Information, was renowned for her
unwavering commitment to public service,
transparency, and the fight against counterfeit
drugs in Nigeria. She passed away in 2014 after
battling cancer.

Dr. Chike Akunyili, her husband, was a respected physician and philanthropist who tragically lost his life in 2021 in a violent attack.
