Wife of the Anambra State Governor, Dr Nonye Soludo, has urged Nigerians to adopt healthier lifestyles and undergo regular medical check-ups to reduce the risk of heart-related diseases.
Soludo, founder of the Healthy Living Initiative, made the call on Tuesday in a message commemorating the 2026 World Heart Day, themed “Don’t Miss a Beat.”
World Heart Day, observed annually on September 29, seeks to raise awareness about cardiovascular diseases and promote preventive measures that support heart health.
Soludo said protecting the heart requires deliberate and consistent lifestyle choices, stressing that individuals have an important role to play in safeguarding their health.
“Your heart works for you every single day. Make the choice to work for it too,” she said.
