In the beginning of her speech she was offered to take a sit due to health condition, but Dora refused and insisted to make her address standing.

First of all, she started with commending President Goodluck Jonathan for having a courage to convene the event, and then switched to the main part of her message:

It would be recalled that a former Director General of the NAFDAC and ex minister of Information Professor Dora Akunyili passed away on June 7, 2014, at the age of 59. She lost two-year-long battle with cancer.

Dora had to leave Nigeria for treatment in India, after her health condition had become worse. He body would be brought back to Nigeria this week.

Rest in peace.
