Prof. Dora Akunyili, a former Director General of

transparency, and the fight against counterfeit
drugs in Nigeria. She passed away in 2014 after
battling cancer.

Dr. Chike Akunyili, her husband, was a respected physician and philanthropist who tragically lost his life in 2021 in a violent attack.
