Katsina plans mass wedding for 1,000 couples
The Katsina State Government has announced plans to sponsor a mass wedding for 1,000 couples as part of efforts to support families and promote social stability.
Officials disclosed that the initiative is aimed at assisting intending couples, particularly those facing financial challenges, to formalize their marriages.
According to the state government, the programme will cover key expenses associated with marriage, reducing the burden on participants and encouraging lawful unions.
The initiative is also expected to address social issues such as delayed marriages and related economic pressures within communities.
Residents have expressed mixed reactions, with some praising the move as a welcome intervention, while others have called for transparency in the selection process.
Authorities, however, assured that the programme will be carried out fairly, with guidelines to ensure that only eligible beneficiaries are selected.
