Kano State Government approves funding of N1.5 billion for a mass wedding programme intended to support large numbers of couples across the state. Multiple outlets report that the initiative is disclosed during a briefing by the Commander-General of the Kano State Hisbah Board, Sheikh Ibrahim Daurawa. The Punch and Vanguard say the programme targets about 3,000 couples, while Daily Post Nigeria reports a figure of 1,500 couples. Legit.ng also states the plan is for no fewer than 3,000 intending couples. The reports describe the funding as covering costs such as dowry and household items, including furniture, for participating couples. The Punch adds that the programme provides N100,000 for each bride, alongside other wedding-related expenses. All accounts agree on the total amount allocated—N1.5 billion—and that the state is preparing for the mass wedding event, with preparations described as already advanced in one report. The exact number of couples included varies by outlet, but the initiative’s purpose and budget remain consistent.
