ABUJA, NIGERIA – The nation’s capital buzzed with excitement Friday night as Dr. Nonye Soludo, the trailblazing First Lady of Anambra State, was officially crowned the 2025 Humanitarian First Lady of the Year.
The prestigious honour was bestowed upon her at the Nigerian Humanitarian Awards & Magazine ceremony, held at the opulent Nicon Luxury Hotel.
Dr. Soludo was recognized for her revolutionary impact on healthcare advocacy and child support, particularly through her wildly successful initiative, “Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo,” which has transformed from a local campaign into a powerful, household brand across the state and beyond.
In a moving acceptance speech, a grateful Dr. Soludo described the award not as a final destination, but as a “call to greater service.”
“I couldn’t be any less grateful for the grace of consistency and support,” she declared to the distinguished audience.
“Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo has come to stay. For each laurel and accolade that comes our way, we take them in the manner of greater expectations. This one is special.”
With deep emotion, she dedicated the national award to her loyal followers and the children of her state, whose futures, she said, are the driving force behind her work.
“To all of you who come out each Saturday morning to work out with me, and to all the beautiful children in Anambra whose life and future have been reassured by what we do, this is for you. You are the pride of what we do!” she added.
Mr. Emmanuel Anabueze, Founder of the Nigerian Humanitarian Awards, praised the First Lady’s monumental achievements, stating that her work has set a new standard for public service.
“Dr. Nonye Soludo has redefined what it means to serve as a First Lady,” Anabueze remarked.
“Her initiatives have directly touched lives, restored dignity, and inspired healthier living for children, women, and families across Anambra State. We are proud to celebrate her as a model of impactful humanitarian leadership.”
The Nigerian Humanitarian Awards & Magazine remains one of the country’s most respected platforms, dedicated to celebrating the heroes whose selfless service continues to shape communities and transform lives across the federation.
