Buhari's Response To 1999 Letter By Dora Akunyili Returning £12000 PTF Money Is Heartwarming

Back in 1998, Dora Akunyili was the South-east Zonal Secretary of the Petroleum Trust Fund [PTF], when she had to travel to the United States for health reasons. Since her death in June 2014, it has emerged that she went to the US back then to get a cancer treatment surgery.

A letter has just been released which Akunyili wrote in 1999 thanking Gen. Buhari who was then the PTF Chairman, and who had approved £17,100 for her medical treatment. In the letter, she also returns some part of the money which she did not use, and Buhari was jubilant about her honesty and personal integrity.

Dora Akunyili - Recovering From Major Illness But Purposeful at National Conference

This is Dora Akunyili at the ongoing National Conference where she made her first appearance yesterday. I saw her name on the list of delegates and was wondering how come she had made no public comments on attending and it seems it's because she had been in the United States receiving treatment for a major illness. I only hope she is up to the stress of the confab, seeing that it's almost everyday for the next three months. My prayers are with her.
