As Anambra women prepare for this year’s August Meeting, the wife of the Governor of Anambra State, Mrs Nonye Soludo has urged them to discuss more about issues that will have direct bearing on the society.
Mrs Soludo, who made the call in Awka, while interacting with a women group, stated that it is time to begin to see the annual summit as a crucial platform for important conversations that can add positive value to both their immediate and extended environments.
The Governor’s wife, who pointed to issues of proper child upbringing to reverse the current social menace ravaging the society, gender balance, campaign against gender-based violence and sexual abuse of women and minors, among others, observed that women must lead the war from the front, not as victims but as change agents.
She also asked the women to look into issues of personal and environmental health and hygiene and suggested that they invite professionals to lead them through the nitty-gritty of healthy living, considering the increasing mortality caused by poor attention to overall health in Nigeria.
Mrs Soludo, who used the opportunity to wish all Anambra women successful outing ahead of the meeting, asked them to also form a strong support for the present administration, with the optimum assurance that her husband, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, is committed to Anambra Project.
She also prayed for them, especially for the safety of women who would be travelling into and out of the State during the period, and asked God to bless their assembly, fortify their conversations and help them achieve their ultimate purpose.
