The wife of the Governor of Anambra State, Mrs Nonye Soludo, has stated that she has secured a strategic partnership with the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
Mrs Soludo said the partnership came through the Renewed Hope Initiative, RHI, and has unlocked opportunities for the people of Anambra, particularly women in the state.
The governor’s wife made the statement at a press conference held at the Light House, Awka, to present some of the achievements of her NGO, Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo.
The Commissioner for Health and Coordinator of the NGO, Dr Afam Obidike, who represented Mrs Soludo at the event, said: “For the very first time in our state, Her Excellency has secured a strategic partnership with the First Lady of Nigeria, unlocking opportunities for thousands of Ndi Anambra.
“These achievements are not abstract or promises—they are real, measurable, and verifiable. They touch mothers, children, the elderly, persons with disabilities, and indeed every community.”
Obidike said the partnership was such that Mrs Soludo was inspired by Senator Tinubu, and for every empowerment sent down to the state for women and the indigent, Mrs Soludo adds an equivalent amount of her own money to ensure a wider range of persons benefit from it.
Reeling out other achievements of the governor’s wife and her NGO, Obidike said: “The First Lady has reached out through orphanages and special homes visitation, showing compassion to the most vulnerable.
“Community youth engagements in all the LGAs have inspired thousands of young people to live healthy and productive lives.
“Anambra State skill women training programme aims to train our women in special skills, traditionally dominated by men, with over 6,000 applicants across the 21 LGAs. There are also pad banks in over 350 secondary schools, where girls no longer have to miss classes due to menstrual challenges.
“More than 26,000 elderly people have received free multivitamin supplements to support healthy aging, dignity kits during flooding, 1,000 persons with disabilities have been enrolled free into the Anambra State Health Insurance Scheme, lifetime scholarships awarded to brilliant indigent children, and over 15,000 packs of hybrid seeds freely distributed to encourage home gardens and food security, among others,” he stated.
