Dora Akunyili’s Corpse To Arrive This Week

The body of the late Prof. Dora Akunyili is expected to arrive in Nigeria this week, according to family sources. The Media Adviser to the late former Minister of Information and Communications, Mr. Isaac Umunna, told our correspondent that Akunyili’s husband, Chike; and her brother, Dr. Anayo Edemobi, confirmed to him on Monday that the remains of the ex-minister would be flown in before the end of the week. He also said that there are no discussion yet about the programme for the burial because a lot of consultations would be held before a programme could be drawn up.

Meanwhile, no condolence register has been opened by the Anambra State Government for sympathisers to sign as of Monday. The late Akunyili was an indigene of the state.
