The Director-General of the board, Dr Abba Sufi, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kano that all the prospective couples were registered at the board’s headquarters.

Sufi, however, said the board was still awaiting the list of registered couples from the remaining 26 local government areas.

“As at yesterday (Wednesday) we received the list of those registered in 18 of the 44 local government areas in the state,” he said

Sufi said as soon as the board compiled the list from the remaining local government areas, it would release the total number of registered couples.

He added that as soon as the registration was completed, the board would commence screening of the couples to ascertain their health status before the mass wedding.

NAN reports that in spite of changes introduced in the programme, prospective couples continued to troop to the board and its offices in the local government areas for registration.
