The wife of the Anambra State governor, Mrs Nonye Soludo has celebrated babies born on New Year day in her usual tradition.

During her visit to the hospitals, Mrs Soludo expressed happiness that the free antenatal service initiated by the state government has been yielding fruits.

In a statement, the governor's wife said: "Earlier today, we continued our yearly tradition of visiting and celebrating babies born on New Year Day in Anambra State. We call them New Year Babies.

We consider this spiritual journey an important task for each year. For us, it’s a time to pay homage to God’s great gifts and also take part in the fruits of his divine blessings, through these children, in whose hands we wish to bequeath the future of our state into.

I was equally pleased to hear exciting testimonies from mothers who did antenatal care and had their delivery ((including C-Section births) all at zero costs, courtesy of our three-year-old free antenatal and delivery services in public hospitals in Anambra State.

We thank God for the gift of our children. May they grow up to be the pride of our great state."
