Anambra State Governor’s wife and founder of the non-governmental crusade, Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo initiative, Mrs Nonye Soludo, has launched the healthy living garden programme and weeekly physical exercise in Anaocha Local Government Area.
The launching of the flagship projects took place at the local government headquarters, Neni, with the garden programme expected to give birth to a farmers’ market, where varieties of crops and vegetables can be purchased at very affordable prices.
The programme is a medium-scale agro revolution designed by the governor’s wife NGO for local government areas across the state to drive organic garden practices, promote healthy food consumption and also cut down the costs of household crops and vegetables in markets.
The garden programme, just like the weekly exercises, is currently being adopted by different local government areas with benefiting LGAs responsible for just secondary provisions to drive the initiative in their respective residents.
Speaking in Anaocha local government headquarters, Mrs Soludo explained the two projects’ models and how they could be comprehensively implemented while tasking parents and guardians to go back to the traditional procedures that made raising a child a community responsibility rather than the sole prerogative of the parents.
In his remarks, the Commissioner for Health, Dr Afam Obidike, pointed out that the foundational philosophy of Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo which is rooted in simple, healthy lifestyle choices, rubs off impressively on what the present administration in Anambra State aims to achieve through quality and affordable health care delivery.
The Chairman of Anaocha Local Government Area, Mr Romanus Ibekwe, stated that the council is looking forward to taking advantage of the projects to bring the needed revolution.
The governor’s wife later visited the council’s healthy living garden, where she performed ceremonial planting of the crops to kick off the project in the area.
