On a planned mass wedding in the state, Daurawa explained that the board has offered 50 slots to journalists and media workers in the next batch of the state’s mass wedding programme.

He said following the success recorded in the last batch of the mass wedding which saw about 1,800 couples married off, the board decided to include interested members of professional groups and trade unions in the programme.

“We have given 50 slots to journalists and other members of the media who are interested in participating in the mass wedding programme,” he said.

According to him, the board will also include legal practitioners and health workers in the next batch of the exercise.

The cleric explained that the essence of the mass wedding is to entrench moral values in the society and reduce immorality especially among young men and women.
