No fewer than
4,395 prospective couples wishing to participate in the Kano State Government’s
mass wedding have so far registered for the programme.
The state government had
directed the Hisba Board to register all interested prospective couples in the
state.
Dr Abba Sufi, the Director-General of the board, made the disclosure in
an interview with newsmen in Kano on Saturday. Sufi said of the number, 3,117
couples were registered by Hisba offices in 41 local government areas of the
state, while the remaining 1, 278 couples were registered at the state
headquarters of the board in Kano.
“As I am talking to you now, 4,395
prospective couples indicated interest to participate in the programme.
He said
as soon as the remaining three local government areas submitted their list, the
board would write a comprehensive report to the government for necessary
action.
Sufi, who was giving update on the registration exercise, reaffirmed
the commitment of the government toward ensuring the success of the programme.
“The government is committed to the programme hence its decision to continue
with the programme.
“The registration is still open to all interested persons
as the exercise is still ongoing,” Sufi said.
The registration for the
prospective couples began simultaneously across the 44 local government areas
of the state on Aug. 8.
