Wife of Anambra State Governor, Mrs. Nonye Soludo, has advised residents of the state to take issues of their health more seriously, reminding them that good health is their most important asset.
Mrs Soludo, in a statement to mark the World Health Day yesterday, also called on the government at all levels to make more investments in Nigeria’s health sector.
“As the global community commemorates World Health Day today, it’s important for us to re-examine the impact of our actions on achieving a progressive health society that caters to everyone’s needs”, she said.
“As I always emphasize: health is the greatest wealth. It’s, in fact, the greatest measure of a thriving society.”
She argued that “building a solid health system, one that guarantees inclusion, is an all-time necessity, not a choice“, emphasising, however, that her message was not for the government alone.
“Of course, it’s expected that the government must take a lead action. But the process demands a collective vision.”

She said that the state government led by her husband, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, is doing everything possible to rebuild the state’s health sector for the good of the people.
“In Anambra State, under the Solution Administration, we see the narrative more uniquely. Here, health is a practical action established on the right intention and in keen priority of the ordinary citizen.
“My NGO, Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo, is also leading an unprecedented crusade that has transformed the overall health consciousness and habits of our people.
“Our state-wide weekly workouts and consistent health education and outreaches have made massive impacts on homes and communities.
“As we celebrate this global event, let’s also remember that health is not a one-off process. It’s a collection of those simple but significant daily actions that define good or bad health.
“Take care of yourself always. Be mindful of what you consume. Health is irreplaceable. Happy World Health Day.”
