The Jinabco Foundation, founded by renowned Nguru-based businessman and philanthropist Alhaji Jinjiri Abubakar, has sponsored the marriage of 100 orphans and less privileged couples in Nguru Town, Yobe State.
According to Alhaji Jinjiri Abubakar, the mass wedding initiative was aimed at promoting religion and strengthening social cohesion among the younger generation.
“We sponsored the mass wedding after the couples underwent rigorous tests and screening to ascertain their medical status,” he stated.
In his remarks, the Minister of Police Affairs, Senator Ibrahim Gaidam, who served as the Chairman of the occasion, commended the organizers for successfully hosting the event, describing it as both timely and commendable.
He urged well-to-do individuals to emulate the humanitarian gesture of the Jinabco Foundation in supporting community development.
The Minister was represented at the ceremony by Barrister Ibrahim Al-Arab.
The mass wedding took place at the palace of the Emir of Nguru, Alhaji Mustapha Ibn Kyari, in Nguru Town.
