N854m mass wedding: Kano buys beddings, food items for 1,800 intending couples

N854m mass wedding: Kano buys beddings, food items for 1,800 intending couples 

Kano State Government has doled out a total of N854m on the state’s mass wedding.

The state’s Hisbah Board says it has procured furniture, food and other materials for the 1,800 intending couples under its mass wedding scheme.

Sheikh Aminu Daurawa, the Commander-General of the board, disclosed this when he inspected some of the items for the wedding in Kano on Wednesday, August 30.

He confirmed that the government had set a budget of over N854m for the purchase of clothing materials, food items, furniture, and other necessities for the wedding.

“Each bride will receive a set of bed, mattress, and pillows, as well as N20,000 to start up a business,” he stated.

“Some philanthropists have pledged to contribute their quota to ensure the success of the wedding

“1,800 couples will benefit from the gesture, which would go a long way in curtailing societal vices and poverty in the society, as many marriages were being postponed, due to the inability of parents to sponsor the wedding,” he added.

Daurawa said that the wedding date would be announced later.

He said those who divorced their spouses on flimsy excuses after the marriage would be made to pay back the money to the government.
