Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has urged the 1,500 couples who benefited from the state government’s mass wedding programme to build their homes on patience, justice, mutual respect and understanding.
This was contained in a statement issued by the governors spokesperson Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa on Saturday.
The Governor made the call while addressing the newly married couples, reminding them that marriage is an act of ibadah and should therefore be conducted in accordance with the teachings of the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
He advised the couples to respect one another, uphold fairness in their homes and ensure peaceful coexistence, while also putting into practice the lessons they received during the pre-marital counselling sessions.
Governor Yusuf prayed for Allah’s blessings upon their marriages and for righteous children who would become beneficial to their families, society and humanity.
