1,520 couples were on Friday 24th February 2017 joined in holy matrimony at mass weddings organized by Kano state government. The weddings which held in four Juma’at Mosques in Kano metropolis and at the headquarters of the 44 local government areas of the state preceded medical tests conducted on the prospective couples to ascertain their health status.
State governor, Abdullahi Ganduje who spoke at the reception urged the newly-weds to live in peace with one another for their union to last long. He also noted that joining the couples in suspicious circumstances would make them distrust each other, hence the medical tests that were conducted on them.

He also reminded them that they would be made to account for all their deeds in the afterlife.
