The programme date will be announced by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf after the screening exercise.

This is arrant nonsense. After 3,000 people are married off together, will they provide the basic necessities for them to take care of a family? In 2026, the government from the northern extraction should empower its people to thrive, which will further improve their lives and reduce criminality and banditry in the area.
