Dr. Nonye Soludo, the wife of the Anambra State Governor, has been recognized on the national stage as she emerged the winner of the health activism category at the 2026 BudgIT Active Citizens Awards. The prestigious award, now in its third edition, celebrates individuals who have made outstanding contributions to social development and public health across Nigeria.
A Vision for Wellness
Mrs. Soludo was honored for her tireless efforts in promoting preventive healthcare and community wellness through her NGO, the “Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo Initiative.” Her campaign has become a model for public health advocacy, focusing on fitness, nutrition, and maternal health. This recognition is a testament to her dedication, much like the recruitment of verified teachers is a testament to the government’s focus on social welfare.
Impacting Lives in Anambra
Since assuming her role as First Lady, Dr. Soludo has launched several life-changing programmes, including maternal health advocacy and environmental sanitation drives. In her acceptance speech, she dedicated the award to the healthcare workers, volunteers, and the people of Anambra who have embraced the vision of a healthier society. She emphasized that when communities take ownership of their health, lasting transformation is possible.
The award also highlights the importance of accountability and civic engagement in Nigeria. As the ICPC continues to uncover fraudulent activities in other sectors, the work of individuals like Mrs. Soludo provides a positive contrast of service and integrity.
