Unplanned home, an impending disaster for society – Mrs Soludo

Wife Anambra State Governor, Dr
Nonye Soludo, has called for increased education on proper family planning among couples, stating that unplanned families could pose a serious threat to societal stability.

Soludo, founder of Healthy Living initiative, made the call on Monday in Awka, as Christian women begin the 2025 annual August Meeting in the stare.

According to her, family planning is not merely a personal choice but a critical pillar in the development of healthy families and communities.

“An unplanned home is an impending disaster for society.

“When families grow beyond their capacity to nurture and support, the ripple effects are felt across education, healthcare, security and other sectors of the society.

“Family is about planning a future where every child is wanted and every family is secure,” she said.

The Governor’s Wife urged the women to discuss fundamental issues affecting family and society during the August meeting.

Soludo said the August meetings should serve as platforms for women to highlight specific societal issues and propose solutions.

“It is important to draw attention to issues such as rising moral deficits in child raising, depreciation of family values, drug abuse among school children and parental neglects.

“Issues like the quest for illicit wealth among youths are key problems that the August meetings can address.

“We need to also promote tolerance, communal and religious peace, as well as offer women opportunities for ideological reforms, social growth and economic empowerment.

“There is the need to figure out viable avenues to reach out to members who are struggling with faith and life and to also dedicate time to spiritual revival, “she said.

Soludo wished the women of Anambra a peaceful and fulfilling August Meeting 2025.

She also urged them to remember the state and the nation in their prayers.
