The Head of Service, Lady Okwy Igwegbe has felicitated with the wife of the Anambra State Governor, Dr. Nonye Soludo on the award she received as the ‘Most supportive governor’s wife and the voice of the voiceless’ during the 2024 Press Week and Man of the Year Awards of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), Anambra State Council at Godwin Ezeemo International Press Center, Awka

This felicitation came shortly after receiving the award on behalf of the governor’s wife at the event themed ‘The Media, And Trajectories For Anambra State’s Future In A Dwindling Economy’.

She noted that the award was properly considered and a pointer to the fact that Anambra people appreciate the selfless services the wife of the governor renders to people in the state and beyond,
describing the awardee as a person with a large heart, humane, humble and someone you could rely on.

Lady Igwegbe highlighted programs of the wife of the governor such as Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo as one of the platforms through which she has touched the lives of many in the state while calling for all and sundry to subscribe and follow the Healthy Living program with Nonye Soludo.

She further said that Dr Mrs Nonye Soludo has touched the lives of many women and the vulnerable through her empowerment programmes and providing for the less privileged particularly those in the different homes for the less privileged in the state. She praised the organizers of the event for recognizing the efforts of Dr. Nonye Soludo in supporting the governor and for her role in caring for the down trodden in the society.

She also congratulated other award recipients and
encouraged well meaning ndi Anambra to emulate the humanitarian activities performed by these awardees as service to humanity remained one of the few keys to eternal gratification.

The HOS thanked the host, Comrade Odogwu Emeka Odogwu (PhD) and other members of the NUJ for organizing such an intriguing event with a theme in sync with the realities on ground while advising them as media experts to make demands on news censoring, insisting on factual reportage as the social media news proliferation is almost causing more harm than good to the image of the nation and it’s people.
