The wife of the Anambra State governor, Dr Nonye Soludo, has urged fathers to remain steadfast in nurturing children who will contribute positively to societal growth.

Ms Soludo made the call in a message to journalists issued in Awka to mark this year’s Father’s Day celebration. 

She said fathers’ influence extends beyond their homes to the future of their communities.

She celebrated fathers for their love, sacrifice and guidance in shaping families and strengthening society.

She also commended fathers who continue to lead their families with purpose and dedication, despite the prevailing challenges.

Mrs Soludo stated, “The impact of responsible fatherhood goes beyond the immediate family and plays a critical role in building a better society. To every father striving to lead with purpose and raise children, who will make a positive difference in the world, thank you. Your impact reaches far beyond the walls of your home and extends into the future of our communities.”

The governor’s wife also paid special tribute to her husband, Chukwuma Soludo.

“Today, I especially celebrate my dear husband, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, a devoted and exceptional father, whose values, discipline and unwavering commitment continue to inspire our family. Together with our six amazing children, I am deeply grateful for the love, strength, wisdom and exemplary leadership he provides every day,” she said.

Mr Soludo wished fathers across the country a happy celebration and encouraged them to continue to serve as role models to their children and society at large.
