Kano State Government is earmarking N1.5 billion for a mass wedding programme planned across the state. Multiple reports say the programme involves either 1,500 or 3,000 couples, with the Hisbah Board’s Commander-General, Sheikh Ibrahim/Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa, disclosing the funding during a briefing to journalists. The sources agree that the allocation is meant to support wedding-related expenses, including items such as dowry and furniture. One outlet further reports that each bride is to receive N100,000 as part of the financial support. Another report describes preparations as having reached an advanced stage at the time of the announcement. While the number of couples varies between the accounts, all sources describe the same overall government allocation and programme purpose: to organize and fund weddings for large groups of couples in Kano State. The reports do not provide specific dates or venues for the event, focusing instead on the announced budget and scope of support.
