The Kebbi State Government has finalised plans to sponsor the mass wedding of 600 individuals, covering a dowry payment of ₦180,000 per couple.
Speaking in Birnin Kebbi on Sunday, the Chairman of the Mass Wedding Committee, Suleman Argungu, confirmed that screening committees have been set up to ensure all selected couples meet the necessary criteria.
Argungu stated that the process includes pre-marital health checks and an assessment of the groom’s employment or trade status to ensure financial stability.
The initiative aims to support orphans, widows, and people with special needs, regardless of their tribe or religion.
