Kukawa Local Government Holds Mass Wedding for Ten Vulnerable Couples

The Chairman of Kukawa Local Government Area in Borno state, Mustapha Kukawa, has organized a mass wedding for ten couples from the Baga and Doro communities. This event took place recently and aimed to support vulnerable couples in these areas.

According to a statement from the Kukawa Local Government media team, the chairman provided all necessary items for the weddings. This included dowries, arrangements for guardians, kolanuts, sweets, and fees for religious leaders. The initiative is in line with Islamic traditions.

The mass wedding, known as Fatiha, is intended to promote morality and help prevent social issues among the youth in the community. This event is reportedly the first of its kind in Borno state in recent years, with plans for more similar events in the future.
