Dantani Aruba, a beneficiary of the Kano State Government-sponsored mass wedding initiative, has announced that he now has three wives. Speaking during the mass wedding ceremony, Aruba expressed his happiness at being able to expand his family without incurring the financial burden typically associated with marriage. The Kano State Government, led by Governor Yusuf Abba, organized the event as part of its intervention to assist individuals who may struggle to afford the cost of marriage.

The initiative, coordinated by the Kano State Hisbah Board, targeted people from low-income backgrounds, including widows, widowers, divorcees, spinsters, and bachelors. The government's funds covered dowry, empowerment support, and household items for the beneficiaries, with the total cost of the program amounting to N1.5 billion.
