Late Dora Was Alert inspite Of Her Ailing Condition- Co- Delagate Abdul Mahmud

Dora's passage this morning opened a floodgate of emotion and   tributes from Nigerians from all works of life who  stood up in unison to mourn her demise and applaud her  for the heroic work she did at NAFDAC

However one of Dora's colleagues at the on going National conference, Abdul Mahmud offered a perspective on the person Dora was during her last public appearance. According to Abdul, late  Dora was ever  alert inspite of her ailing condition

Read Abdul tribute below

"I remember Dora Akunyili with fond memories. Patriot, public servant and a mother, she radiated all that is good in our country

Abdul 

                                       
On the 1st day of confab, Iyom Anenih approached Prof Nwajiuba and I requested that we gave up our front row seat for the ailing Dora

And we (Profs Nwajiuba, Madubuike and I) engaged her all during the day's proceedings. Ever alert inspite of her ailing condition

Nigeria has lost an amazing Amazon. May God grant her soul peace eternal. Her death diminishes humanity! #Dora Akunyili"
