The remains of the former Minister of Information, Prof. Dora Akunyili would arrive Nigeria this week, family sources have revealed. The Media Adviser to the late former Minister , Mr. Isaac Umunna told Punch 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. Umunna quoted Dora’s husband and her brother as saying that the body would have been flown in earlier “but because yesterday was Sunday, it wasn’t a working day, the plans were delayed.” He said that no discussion had yet taken place about the programme for the burial because a lot of consultations would be held before a programme could be drawn up. He said, “As you can see from the mood of the people, all Nigerians have come to claim her as their own and Nigerians will be consulted before the programme will be drafted. “There will be meetings with Anambra State Government, the Federal Government and other significant bodies that Prof. had served. “One man alone will not decide when she will be buried.” Read more at: Dora Akunyili’s body to arrive Nigeria this week | LATEST NIGERIAN NEWS BREAKING HEADLINES
