Kano Hisbah: Mass Wedding Is ₦250m Investment, No Divorce Without Reconciliation
The Kano State Hisbah Board has warned that couples in the upcoming mass wedding cannot dissolve their marriages without first seeking the board’s intervention. Commander General Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa said the state has invested over ₦250 million to sponsor 1,500 couples. Each pair will receive ₦100,000 as dowry, another ₦100,000 as business capital, plus furniture, wedding boxes and food items. Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf introduced the initiative to help less privileged residents overcome financial barriers to marriage. Medical screening by the state AIDS agency will ensure couples are fit for marriage, with treatment offered for identified health risks. Past beneficiaries have built stable families and even named children after the governor in gratitude. The Hisbah Board urged all couples to value their unions and use the reconciliation committee to resolve disputes before considering separation.
