In this work, entitled: “ODE TO DORA: POETIC EULOGY”,
which Poets could as well refer to as Poetic X-ray, is a product of
detailed research carefully done to remind Nigerians and the world of
the numerous contributions which Prof. Dora Nkem Akunyili, made
in changing the image of Nigeria and Africa for the better . 
Akunyili is hereby seen as an Epitome of women Ingenuity and
Visibility in public office. The book is written in elevated poetic 
language and in its unique form, covers all facets of Dora’s life
both in private and public service in view of her wonderful,
selfless service and numerous contributions to her fatherland.
The Poet chose to write in deep admiration on the virtues, achievements
and exploits of Professor Dora Nkem Akunyili: the ebullient, erudite,
ingenious former Director General of National Agency for Food and Drug
Administration and Control (NAFDAC), now Nigeria’s Minister for Information and Communication.
The achievements of Professor Akunyili have immortalized and singled

generations. It’s an inspirational tool, especially to the women folk.
