Members of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Anambra State, have honoured the governor’s wife, Mrs Nonye Soludo, with an award for leading a compassionate and life-changing movement with her non-governmental crusade, Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo Initiative.

The award was presented to the governor’s wife at a “One Day Health and Economic Awareness Workshop” in commemoration of 2025 International Workers’ Day in Awka.

Presenting the award on behalf of Anambra State Workers, the NLC chairman in the state, Comrade Humphrey Nwafor, noted that through her crusade, Mrs Soludo has ignited a growing consciousness among thousands of people in Anambra State about their health and the need to guide it closely.

He stated that Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo has become a household culture across every part of the state, pointing that since the programme was introduced, it has made a great impact on the health index of Anambra’s population.

The NLC state chairman equally commended the governor’s wife for her immeasurable contributions to social campaigns, including her exemplary approach to ending domestic violence, child labour, human trafficking, improving social welfare and health care for women and children in the state.

Receiving the award on behalf of the governor’s wife, the Commissioner for Health, Dr Afam Obidike, explained that Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo has been able to bridge the gap between health consciousness and understanding simple conventional steps to living right.

The governor’s wife also explained in detail the module of the campaign, which has now extended into statewide agro revolution, routine exercises, providing access to nutrition for children, and grassroots youths mobilization.

While appreciating the state workforce for honour, Mrs Soludo talked about expanding collaborations with different groups in order to maximize the scope of the programme and create accessible opportunities for enthusiasts.
