Alhaji Ibrahim Sani, Chairman Zamfara State Businessmen Association, says the association will sponsor the wedding of 100 widows to interested suitors in the state.

This came about two weeks after about 8000 women including widows, divorcees and spinsters demonstrated over lack of husbands in the state.

Sani told the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, in Gusau, yesterday, that the gesture was part of its efforts to complement the state government in reducing the number of widows in the state.
.
He said that the association decided to intervene considering the increasing number of widows in the state and the need to assist in addressing the problem.
