Reflecting on the countless ways Dr Nonye Soludo, Anambra First Lady, has touched the lives of so many, what one sees is a First Lady embodying the ideals of simplicity, decency, compassion, and stewardship that are so vital to the flourishing of a human community.
Ever egalitarian and thoughtful, Dr. Nonye Soludo is a person who carries the heart of Anambra in her actions. This has earned her the endearing name of being affectionately referred to by the appreciative good people of Anambra as “Mama Anambra ”
Rather than wear the title of “First Lady” as a badge of privilege, she thrives in her modesty, choosing instead to immerse herself in meaningful initiatives that uplift the lives of the people.
Through her “Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo” programme, she has become a social driving force, advocating for better health practices, environmental consciousness, and the importance of nutritious food.
Today, we celebrate a true quintessential First Lady of the first order.
Happy birthday, ma!
