Anambra State Governor’s wife and founder of the non-governmental crusade, Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo initiative, Nonye Soludo, has launched the healthy living garden project and weekly physical exercise in Ayamelum Local Government Area.
The official launching of the programmes was held at the local government headquarters, Anaku, with the garden programme expected to give birth to farmers’ market, where different crops and vegetables can be gotten at very affordable prices.
Speaking in Anaku, Mrs Soludo explained the two projects and the modalities for their comprehensive implementation, and noted that in about two months time when the gardens would have been due for harvest, she intends to come back to launch the farmers’ market in the local government area.
She also enlightened the people of the area on other areas of her programme; including the need for them to adopt routine exercises, eat natural foods, and pay attention to their environment.
In his remarks, the Commissioner for Health, Dr Afam Obidike, pointed out that the foundational philosophy of Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo, which is rooted in simple, healthy lifestyle choices, is in line with what the present administration in Anambra State aims to achieve through quality and affordable health care delivery, including the life-saving invention of nutritional supplements for children with malnutrition in Anambra, which is currently being given out for free.
