September 01, (THEWILL) – The First Lady of Anambra State, Nonye Soludo, has been conferred with the traditional title of ‘Mmili Gulu-Egu N’Isuofia’ by Igwe (Colonel) Christopher Muoghalu (retd), the traditional ruler of Isuofia Community. She was conferred with the title during the 2024 ‘Iri Ji’ (new yam eating) festival, an annual cultural festival held at the end of the rainy season in early August in Igbo land and symbolizes the conclusion of a harvest and the beginning of the next work cycle.
Ironically, the first lady’s late mother, Mrs Gloria Uzoamaka Ezenwanne, was a bearer of the revered title which she carried with a deep sense of responsibility. It was a name that resonated with her deep-rooted worldviews of selflessness, discipline, and service. While thanking Igwe Muoghalu for the honour to bestow on her the title, Mrs Soludo accepted to bear the treasured crown while being aware of the long expectations and responsibilities it carries. She dedicated the special honour to her late mum who she said left a great example for what motherhood and service to God and humanity is really all about.
Besides running the affairs of Anambra State alongside her husband, Mrs Soludo who is an advocate of healthy living is the Chief Executive Officer of Healthy Living Foods, a food company in the United Kingdom and Nigeria and the parent company of Royal Foods. She is also the managing director of Charles Frances Properties, a real estate firm in the UK.
