The Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) in the US has elected Ijeoma Akunyili as an alumni board member of the institution.
She was named alongside eight others from different countries.
Ijeoma is the first daughter of late Dora Akunyili, former director-general of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and ex-minister of information.
The school said Ijeoma will resume her role as an alumni board member on July 1, adding that she would serve the institution for four years.
The school congratulated the eight board members and urged them to work towards strengthening alumni engagement with one another and the school.
“Commit to a four-year (elected) or two-year (appointed) term. Attend two board meetings a year in Cambridge, MA, at your own financial expense.
“Dedicate time to board work outside of the board meetings (average of 8 hrs./month, but sometimes greater during busier times of the year).
“Participate in your assigned working committees(s) and other board initiatives in between meetings,” the school said.
