2,000 Couples Set To Wed In Kano State-Funded Mass Wedding

The Kano State Government has announced plans to organize a mass wedding ceremony for no fewer than 2,000 couples as part of its efforts to promote social welfare, strengthen family values, and curb social vices across the state.

The directive for the event was issued to the Kano State Hisbah Board, which has been mandated to commence immediate preparations ahead of the large-scale exercise.

Confirming the development in an interview with The PUNCH on Thursday, the Deputy Commander-General of the Hisba Board, Sheikh Mujahid Aminudeen, said arrangements were underway to ensure the smooth execution of the mass wedding.

According to him, the initiative is designed to assist vulnerable women, including widows, divorcees, and spinsters, while also reducing the financial strain on low-income couples who wish to marry.

“This program aims to address social challenges in our communities by promoting marriage among those who are ready but lack the financial means.” It will also help reduce immoral behaviour and promote strong family values,” Sheikh Aminudeen said.

As part of the pre-wedding requirements, all intending couples are to register with the Hisba Board and undergo mandatory medical screening. The tests will include checks for HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, drug use, and genotype compatibility to ensure the health and safety of all participants.

The state government has earmarked N2.5 billion in its 2025 fiscal budget to fund the mass wedding program, a move that underscores its commitment to enhancing the welfare of citizens and promoting moral discipline.

The mass wedding initiative, which had been implemented under previous administrations in Kano, has continued to receive praise from residents for helping to foster social stability and reduce the number of unmarried women in the state.

Sheikh Aminudeen added that the Hisba Board would soon release guidelines and registration dates for interested participants once the full logistics and funding arrangements are finalized.
