Kano State Allocates ₦300M for Hisbah Mass Wedding Scheme

The Kano State Government has approved ₦300 million to support the Hisbah Board’s mass wedding scheme, with each bride receiving ₦200,000 as capital and dowry. Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa, Chairman of the Kano State Hisbah Board, announced this during a pre-marital orientation program at the Government House in Kano.

The program, titled “Preventing Challenges in the Mass Wedding Scheme for a Peaceful Family Life,” was organized by the Hisbah Board and sponsored by the state government. Each bride's ₦200,000 will be deposited directly into her bank account.

Additionally, the government will provide complete household furniture for newly married couples, while grooms will receive 10 yards of fabric, a cap, shoes, and food items. A grand wedding reception is set for Saturday at the Government House, with prominent Islamic scholars invited to pray for the couples.

Daurawa urged couples to approach the Hisbah Board for mediation in case of marital disputes and encouraged kindness and support within marriages.
