- Sarkindaji has made arrangements for all necessary materials for the ceremony
Abdulmalik Sarkindaji, the Speaker of the Niger State House of Assembly, has announced a plan to arrange marriages for 100 female orphans who lost their parents to banditry attacks in Mariga Local Government Area.
Speaking to journalists in Minna, the state capital, Sarkindaji pledged to cover the dowries for the bridegrooms and has made arrangements for all necessary materials for the ceremony.
The girls, carefully selected from a group of 170, will benefit from this initiative, part of Sarkindaji’s constituency empowerment project aimed at easing the plight of the underprivileged.
Additionally, the Niger State Governor, Mohammed Umar Bago, and the Emir of Kontagora, Alhaji Mohammed Barau, will oversee the event as guardians for the orphaned girls.
The Kano State Commander General of the Hisbah Board, Sheikh Aminu Daurawa, is expected to attend the event, slated for May 24 at Bangi, the headquarters of Mariga Local Government Area.
