Jigawa First Lady Sponsors Mass Wedding for 300 Orphans Across State
The wife of the Umar Namadi, Hajiya Amina Umar Namadi, has sponsored a mass wedding for 300 less-privileged orphans drawn from the 27 local government areas of Jigawa State.
The initiative, according to organisers, is aimed at supporting vulnerable families and giving orphaned youths a fresh start in life through structured social welfare intervention.
The ceremony, held in Dutse, brought together 150 brides and 150 grooms in what observers described as one of the largest state-supported mass weddings in recent years.
Organisers said the programme reflects the Jigawa State Government’s commitment to social welfare, family stability, and community development, especially for vulnerable groups.
The newly married couples arrived at the venue dressed in coordinated outfits provided through the office of the governor’s wife, adding colour and cultural significance to the event.
Community leaders and guests at the ceremony commended the initiative, noting that it would help reduce hardship among disadvantaged youths while promoting social inclusion and stability across the state.
The programme is part of broader welfare efforts targeted at improving the lives of vulnerable residents and strengthening family support systems in Jigawa State.
