Anambra State Governors wife, Nonye Soludo, says her non-governmental crusade, Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo, is willing to work with groups that are driven by similar goals.

She stated this when she met with state officers of the National Council of Women Societies, Anambra State chapter, at the Governor’s Lodge in Amawbia.

The group was on a visit to seek closer collaboration with the Governor’s wife’s NGO, and to also announce an award of excellence that would be presented to Mrs Soludo for the impact she has made with her healthy living movement.

The award would be presented to the Governor’s wife at the national convention of the National Council of Women Societies which will hold in Abuja later this year.

Addressing the group, Mrs Soludo commended them for driving important activities, stating that what the group does rubs off on the larger vision of the present administration, and noted that Anambra State government is very intentional in development policies , adding that women who occupy various public positions in the state are doing exceedingly well.

The Governor’s wife also asked the women to use their association to drive bigger responsibilities, support women in politics, fight increasing social vices, and get more people involved in social education and grassroots awareness.

She repeated her calls for mothers to prioritize the responsibility of the home and child raising, adding that mothers should make their children their best friends in order to understand their struggles and challenges.

Earlier in her remarks, the President of National Council of Women Societies, Anambra State chapter, Lady Theresa Nnalue, sought the involvement of the organization in the Governor’s wife’s healthy living crusade, especially in areas of drug abuse fight, cervical cancer elimination, social and economic support for women.
