The Sokoto State government has conducted a mass wedding for 125 couples.
The wedding prayer (Fatiha) was conducted at the Government House, Sokoto.
The ceremony was presided over by Governor Aliyu Wamakko and the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, who was represented by Alhaji Rilwanu Bello, the Magajin Rafin Sokoto.
Wamakko said that the gesture was aimed at further reducing the problems associated with the high number of unmarried youths.
The governor urged the new couples to uphold the trust reposed in them by the state government, and appealed to wealthy individuals to complement the efforts of the state government in this direction.
The commissioner for social welfare, Alhaji Zubairu Yari, said that the mass wedding gulped N30 million.
