There is no question that Professor Dorothy Nkem Akunyili, popularly known as Dora Akunyili, was an adorable woman, and understandably so because of her unparalleled accomplishments as a pharmacist.

This is due to the way in which she brought sanity to the drug manufacturing industry in Nigeria when she served as the Director-General of the National Agency for Drugs and Food Administration and Control (NAFDAC) from 2001 to 2008.

Even in death, Akunyili has earned the respect of many, both at home and abroad, and this could be attested by the number of awards she did receive at national and international levels. It was this great achievement that won her the portfolio as a full cabinet minister in both Presidents Yar'Adua and Jonathan administrations.

In this video, we shall take a look at the life and times of Professor Dora Akunyili. Her educational career. The battles she fought as the Director-General of NAFDAC and her role as Information Minister during the dark days of the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua presidency. #HistoryVille #AfricanWoman
