This is her reply to our inquiry on her state of health.

 

 I AM WELL, FIT AND READY FOR THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE

—PROF. AKUNYILI

 

Thank you for your enquiry. There is a saying in Igboland that goes this way: “Let the sickness take the flesh but leave the bones because with time the bones would grow new flesh.”

 

I just came out of a major sickness, for which I thank Almighty God for delivering me. I know that God did that for a purpose, this National Conference being part of that purpose. I am well now but only need time to put on more weight. However, I am strong enough for this Conference and I look forward to collaborating with other delegates to chart the way for a better Nigeria.  

 

Thank you.

 

PROF. DORA AKUNYILI, OFR
National Conference Delegate
