Kebbi State Governor, Dr. Nasir Idris, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to sustaining the state’s annual free mass wedding programme, pledging that the initiative will continue throughout his tenure to support less-privileged families.
The governor gave the assurance on Monday during the 2026 mass wedding ceremony for 300 couples held at the Haliru Abdu Stadium in Birnin Kebbi.
Speaking at the event, Idris said the programme had become a key social intervention aimed at easing the financial burden of marriage for vulnerable families across the state.
“I will continue to put more effort into this initiative to ensure that more less-privileged people benefit from it,” the governor said.
