Professor Dora Akunyili is alive says family members.
By Michael Akins on May 31,
2014.

Few hours ago a website (names withheld ) posted online that the ill-health  former minister of information and communication and Nafdac boss, Professor Dora Akunyili has passed on, eliciting messages of “RIP” on the social media, but fresh reports from the stable of TheCable, an online news site,  revealed that the former director-general of National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) is alive and her family are “very baffled” by persistent
rumours of her death. A family member who – declined to be named– spoke with TheCable
said, “She is not dead,” “It’s
appearing to us that while many
people are genuinely concerned about her health, some are actually wishing her dead. We cannot understand the motive.” He told TheCable that the family is “baffled” by the unrelenting rumours. “We get calls almost everyday from people asking, ‘Is it true?’ We are very hopeful that she will recover. The doctors say her condition is improving. Her husband, Dr. Chike Akunyili, updates us regularly. He is a medical doctor. Our prayer is that she will be well and come back home. These rumours are killing us,” he said. The nature of her illness is yet to be made public, but there have been reports of cancer.

POWER OF INFLUENCE

THE POWER OF INFLUENCE An individual begins to develop his or her leadership abilities when he or she starts to influence others towards a particular direction. The reason why you take the lead when you influence others is basically because we are dealing with humans. Other things such as animals, money and properties can only be managed and controlled before you can generate value from them or multiply their usefulness but for humans, it is a different case totally. We actually don’t manage people but lead them. There is a clear distinction between leading and managing. ‘To lead’ simply means to influence. It is to influence others towards the effective and efficient utilization of resources for the maximum productivity of the individual and ultimately the society. ‘To manage’ is to create a process of achieving certain objectives clearly set out through planning, organizing, controlling and directing of human resources. These two concepts are both important in any set...
