Dantani Aruba, a participant in the Kano State Government-sponsored mass wedding, expressed joy after adding another wife to his collection. Speaking during the ceremony on Saturday, Aruba highlighted that the initiative had enabled him to grow his family without the financial strain typically linked to marriage. In a viral video shared by NewsCentralTV on Monday, he announced, "I just married another wife, and I am happy that I have married another one.
My wives are now three." Aruba was among the 1,500 couples who wed under the Kano State Government's initiative, aimed at supporting individuals who might find it difficult to afford marriage expenses. The state government, under Governor Yusuf Abba's leadership, covered the entire cost of the weddings at N1.5bn. Organized by the Kano State Hisbah Board, the program specifically targeted low-income groups, such as widows, widowers, divorcees, spinsters, and bachelors.
The government had assured that the funds would be used to cover dowry payments, empowerment support, and household items for the beneficiaries.
