Anambra First Lady Tasks CAN Women on Peace, Healthy Living

The wife of Anambra State Governor, Nonye Soludo, has charged the newly inaugurated executive members of the Women Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (WOWICAN) in Anambra State to leverage their positions for the betterment of society. Speaking at the inauguration ceremony in Onitsha, Mrs. Soludo, who also founded the 'Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo' NGO, stressed the pivotal role women play in fostering peace, upholding moral values, and championing healthy lifestyles within families and communities.

“

I warmly congratulate the new executive members of WOWICAN and urge them to use their new responsibilities to promote peace, moral values, and healthy living.

She underscored that motherhood is not merely a biological role but a significant privilege and a powerful platform for positive influence. Mrs. Soludo's initiative, 'Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo,' aims to cultivate a culture of inclusivity and collaboration, emphasizing that good hygiene is a universal necessity, transcending religious or social divides. This aligns with the broader objectives of WOWICAN, which seeks to unite Christian women across denominations for humanitarian service, gender equality, and empowerment.

As a movement built on partnership and inclusion, Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo speaks to everyone, irrespective of creed or status.

The First Lady, represented by the wife of the Deputy Governor, Oluchi Ibezim, further urged the new leadership to champion crucial social causes. These include advocating for women's rights, providing robust support for families, actively campaigning against gender-based violence, and fostering unity among different religious groups. This call to action reflects a deep commitment to social progress and community well-being, resonating with the foundational principles of WOWICAN established in 1990.

Where we see mothers, we see an opportunity to strengthen our households and improve our communities.
