Wife of the Anambra State Governor, Nonye Soludo, has called on Nigerians to show more care, kindness, and support for less-privileged children, saying they deserve love and a strong sense of belonging regardless of their background.
She made the appeal during a visit to several motherless babies’ homes as part of activities marking Mothering Day, a Christian celebration observed on the fourth Sunday of Lent, held to honour mothers and reflect on the role of motherhood in society.
In a statement released on Monday, Soludo described children as the foundation of society, stressing that how they are treated today will shape the future of the nation.
According to her, children in orphanages and vulnerable homes need consistent love, care, and emotional support to help them grow with hope and confidence.
“The greatest gift we can give is kindness, and the joy it brings is priceless,” she said. “This is what a fulfilled celebration truly means.”

Reflecting on her visit, the governor’s wife noted that spending time with the children was a deeply emotional experience that highlighted the true meaning of motherhood beyond biological ties.
“Sharing laughter, warmth, and hope with my children at the orphanage reminded us of the essence of motherhood—caring for the vulnerable and putting smiles on faces that need it the most,” she added.
Soludo, who leads the NGO Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo, also praised mothers for their sacrifices and resilience in raising children and contributing to the moral strength of society.
She said mothers play a crucial role not only in family upbringing but also in building peaceful and progressive communities.
