A
Twitter handle, @NTA_News purportedly belonging to the Nigeria
Television Authority had quoted the Special Adviser to the President on
Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, as saying the President was
making plans to immortalise Dora by renaming the nation’s premier
university after her.
“Mr. President
may consider renaming University of Ibadan as ‘Dora Akunyili Memorial
University’ to honour the late NAFDAC boss,” the Twitter handle,
@NTA_News wrote.
Reacting to this
report, Abati said he never made such a statement to @NTA_News or anyone
on his Twitter account, insisting that there was no iota of truth in
the rumour making the rounds on social media.
