The Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, has taken legal action against the planned marriage of 100 girls in Niger State, Nigeria.

The initiative, spearheaded by Abdulmalik Sarkindaji, the speaker of the Niger State House of Assembly, aims to sponsor the weddings of these girls, many of whom were orphaned by insurgency, as part of his Maringa constituency project.

Sarkindaji announced the procurement of materials for the event scheduled for May 24 and committed to paying the dowries.

The announcement has sparked significant controversy and outcry.

Sarkindaji clarified that the initiative involves financing the weddings, not coercing the girls into marriage.

Despite this clarification, Minister Kennedy-Ohanenye has deemed the plan unacceptable, emphasizing that the girls' futures must be prioritized.

Uju, why not go face your people, who are into baby farms, prostitution etc. We in the north prioritise our women's decency over your nonsense empowerment? The best future they can ever have is with a male guardian that will not take advantage of them  - hence HUSBAND!!!
