The Kano State government has budgeted N2,500,000,000.00 to conduct quarterly mass weddings across the 44 local government areas of the state in 2025.

The State’s Commissioner for Planning and Budget, Musa Shanono, disclosed this while briefing journalists on the breakdown of the State’s 2025 budget passed into law by the State House of Assembly on Friday, January 31.

According to him, the government planned to spend N91.32 billion in the governance and service delivery sector for programmes and services of which the mass wedding is included.

He said the commitment was to further entrench responsibility, openness, and the defence of human rights as well as to promote a fair society for sustainable growth as well as improve the living standards of citizens.

Shanono said out of the amount, N1,000,000,000 has been earmarked for Ramadan feeding, N955,000,000 for manpower statistics survey, general household survey and out-of-school children statistics and N1,049,000,000 for purchase of printing machine, rehabilitation/repairs of general water system, purchase of library equipment at the Government Printing Press.

He also explained that the sum of N267,615,310.86 has been budgeted for provision and equipping of infrastructure, production and printing of Islamic calendar and support for Islamic Da’wah programme/welfare package to new converts to Islam.

The Commissioner, however, highlighted that the approved 2025 budget has a total size of N719,755, 417,663:00, representing an increase of N170,595,000:00, equivalent of 31% over what was initially submitted, which was N549,160, 417,663.00, by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to the State House of Assembly.

MASS DIVORCE CASES NKO make una HELP "2 BABA

Salvation105:
How will they train kids when they don’t have money to marry

Mass Weddings = Mass Almajiris

Na Bleep go kill this arewa people

This is a bad policy .


If the government sponsor these weddings ,who will sponsor their feeding or their children school fees ?

People should be empowered to become responsible for themselves not beggars.

what a waste

Just do what your people want.

Dapo and Sanwo are my own governors.

Otti, Soludo, Francis, Mbah, Uzodinma are their own governors so don’t listen to them.

Later some people will blame the white people or the West as those behind the black man suffering. You can imagine the nonsense going on here

Konjified mofos

I'll like to know how much they spent on education, I bet the total of money truly spend on health care sef in 2024 is not too far from that. They like all these allocations that can allow them embezzle.

Whao!
See projects!

You marry off people who are not responsible enough to take care of themselves, how wise you are!!!

If there was a contest for foolishness, Nigerian politician would take 1st place.

Guess there's no other work to b Done in the state. It's okay

Very nice project!

Spend billions on mass weddings, spend billions on establishing almajaris.
Spend billions on sponsoring people to Mecca for Hajj
Others are investing in modern technology, Ai…
Healthcare is in shambles, terrorism and kidnapping is order of the day

Nigeria is actually moving, but moving backward.. most especially this, kunu drinking goro chewing bastardds

If there’s a way to sterilize this people and stop them from manufacturing more little human terrorists that bring mayhem to the surface of the earth. If only there’s. Way.
For every bandit, kidnapper and boko haram captured or killed, new set of little humans are being born in 100s to replace them. A baby almajiari born in the north today is the next bokoharam waiting to carry guns in the next 15 years
Sometimes I don’t blame people like Bill Gates who look for a way to depopulate certain parts of the world. Na this kind people deserve vaccines that will shorten their lifespans and make them infertile

Wouldn't it be a better idea to spend the money training their youths and eradicating poverty instead? These are poor people who aren't even financially equipped to marry each other and definitely can't sustain a family... Does the government also plan to help them feed their kids?

It is well with Northern Nigeria o! 🤐

How much on education?

It's a Sharia law

There should be 100% resource control!

You can't be using Niger Delta oil money for this!

More babies for election numbers

This ones no dey hear anything.

The North keeps multiplying poverty.

If a man and woman are unable to sort out their wedding, then they're not ready to be married.


Hope the government will help in raising the kids. The monsters they're creating today will come for them and their families tomorrow.

Mass weddings to encourage them to give birth to another generation of almajiris to help them maintain their grip on power through their numbers.

See where our VAT money dey go

This is how you actually spend the money which you haven't worked for or earned - you spend it on all kind of frivolities! It will be difficult for Nigeria to progress with the North being a part of it! I heard Kebbi state govt too intends to renovate some mosques with several billions of Naira; it's indeed very good!

Weddings that will produce almajhiris who will continue to vote in stupid northerners.

Rather, Kano plans to increase population of poor citizens.

That is a version of their own human capital development despite having the highest number of Out of School Children in Nigeria, dem dey to weddings to born more!
