Jakusko Local Government Council of Yobe state has revealed its plan to enact a bye-law that would fix the maximum bride price to be paid in the area.

The chairman of the council, made the revelation recently, while speaking in an interview.He said that the law became necessary when the council observed that youths were being discouraged from getting married because of the exorbitant bride price charged by parents of prospective brides.
