Akunyili used her talent to promote Nigeria —Ekaette

Abuja—Nigeria's first female President of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria, Senator Eme Ekaette, has described the late Director-General of the National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and  Control, NAFDAC, Prof. Dora Akunyili, as a pacesetter who used her talent to uplift the country's image in the drug market.

Senator Ekaette, who spoke in Abuja, noted that it was Akunyili, who risked her life to transform the drugs market in Nigeria and brought sanity into the business thereby attracting huge foreign investments into the sector.

Ekaette, who said she was very close to Akunyili as a result of their membership of PSN, described the deceased as a heroine, who played a major role in remoulding Nigeria's battered image through her relentless war to rebrand the country.
