Monday, September 21, 2026 -Anambra State First Lady, Nonye Soludo, has expressed excitement over the recovery of inmates at the Anambra Rehabilitation Home in Nteje, Oyi Local Government Area of the state, with some of them certified medically fit to return home.
Soludo, who visited the rehabilitation home on Sunday, said
she was inspired to see that the inmates had been trained in various skills and
were demonstrating what they had learnt with confidence and remarkable skill.
During the visit, Soludo donated relief materials, other
items and cash gifts to the inmates while wishing them well.
In a statement she issued on Monday, Soludo said watching
the inmates reminded her that rehabilitation was not just about helping people
recover, but also about giving them the opportunity to rediscover their
abilities, regain their confidence and find a productive place in society.
She explained that every human deserved a second chance,
adding that sometimes, all it took was the right support, the right opportunity
and someone who believed that a better future was still very much possible.
The statement read, “Yesterday at the Anambra Rehabilitation
Home in Nteje, we witnessed something deeply inspiring. Some of the residents
who had been certified medically fit to return home have instead chosen a
different path; one of learning, rebuilding and preparing for a meaningful life
beyond the Centre.
“They were trained in various skills, and today, they
proudly graduated, demonstrating what they had learned with confidence and
remarkable skill. Watching them reminded me that rehabilitation is not just
about helping people recover; it is about giving them the opportunity to
rediscover their abilities, regain their confidence and find a productive place
in society.
“Every human deserves a second chance. Sometimes, all it
takes is the right support, the right opportunity and someone who believes that
a better future is still very much possible. Today was a beautiful reminder
that lives can be rebuilt, purpose can be restored, and new beginnings are
always possible. I am super proud of our amazing caregivers who played a huge
part in this journey, and especially of the graduates who chose to learn, grow
and move forward. I look forward to seeing you all grow soonest.”
