A hearing-impaired man who participated in Kano State’s mass wedding programme has described the initiative as a dream come true, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to begin a new chapter of his life. The mass wedding was organised as part of efforts to support eligible couples who might otherwise struggle to meet the financial demands associated with marriage. The beneficiary said the programme gave him renewed hope and allowed him to fulfil a long-held desire to establish a family despite the challenges associated with his hearing impairment.
The initiative has provided support to couples through assistance with marriage arrangements and other essential needs, helping beneficiaries who face economic difficulties. For participants living with disabilities, the programme also represents an opportunity for greater inclusion and participation in community life. The hearing-impaired beneficiary said he was particularly grateful for the support and described the experience as one that would remain memorable to him, stressing that the opportunity had brought happiness and a sense of belonging.
The Kano mass wedding programme is part of broader efforts by the state authorities to encourage marriage and provide assistance to less privileged residents who want to settle down but face financial constraints. The beneficiary’s experience highlights how such interventions can have a personal impact beyond the immediate financial assistance, particularly for people with disabilities who may encounter additional social and economic barriers. He expressed appreciation to the organisers and hoped the programme would continue to benefit more residents across the state.
