Nigerian governor to sponsor 100 wedding ceremonies
A Deputy Governor in Zamfara State in Nigerian, Malam Ibrahim
Wakkala Muhammad, has promised to sponsor the marriage ceremony of 100
vulnerable couples across the state.
The rationale to sponsor the would-be couples, according to the
governor, was part of his desire to reduce the number of widows and
divorced women in the state.
Malam Ibrahim Wakkala made the disclosure Sunday evening at the
graduation ceremony of 200 women trained on various empowerment skills.
He explained that already a process had been instituted to ensure
that the right category of people are selected as the beneficiaries.
“We noticed that many of them want to marry but they don’t have
financial support to so. 100 indigent males and 100 females would be
selected across the 14 local government areas of the state and all what
is needed for wedding will be provided by me,” he assures.
