The Zamfara State Government, through the Zakkat and Endowment Board, has put every necessary machinery in place to sponsor and conduct mass wedding for 200 orphans in the state.
Executive Secretary of the Board, Malam Habibu Balarabe, revealed this while speaking with newsmen in Gusau, Thursday.
He said the ceremony is scheduled to hold on Monday, November 23, 2025, at the Board’s premises.
He noted that all beneficiaries for the mass wedding have been screened and selected.
In addition to the wedding programme, the Board will also provide grants to 200 women engaged in small-scale businesses to support and expand their livelihoods.
Balarabe stated that 100 women have completed a three-week poultry farming training programme and will receive starter packs to begin their ventures.
“The Board has equally made arrangements to settle selected debt cases in Shari’ah Courts and correctional centres across the state.
“Some orphans have undergone computer literacy training and will receive starter packs during the ceremony”, he said.
