The emir added that unless northerners desist from marrying more wives and bearing more children than they can take care of, they will continue to live in poverty.
Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, has said that the predominant culture of marrying more than one wife by men in Northern Nigeria is the major cause of poverty in the region.
Sanusi who was represented by Usman Bugaji, said this while moderating a paper presentation session on ‘the role of universities in nation building’ at the maiden convocation of the Federal University, Gusau, in Zamfara state, on Friday.
The emir added that unless northerners desist from marrying more wives and bearing more children than they can take care of, they will continue to live in poverty.
