Yusuf, Sanusi Unite 1,500 Couples in Kano Mass Wedding

Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, on Friday officiated the mass wedding of 1,500 couples under the state government’s Mass Wedding Programme.

The ceremony was held shortly after the Friday congregational prayer at the Central Juma’at Mosque located within the Emir’s Palace in Kano.

A total of 3,000 people participated in the ceremony, comprising 1,500 brides and 1,500 grooms.

Governor Yusuf served as the Wali (guardian) for the brides, while the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, represented the grooms during the solemnisation of the marriages.

The mass wedding is part of the Kano State Government’s initiative to support couples, reduce the financial burden associated with marriage and encourage residents to embrace lawful marriages.

The event brought together government officials, traditional leaders, families and members of the public who witnessed the historic mass solemnisation.
