The royal couple, who have been married for four decades, celebrated the milestone surrounded by family members, friends, and well-wishers.

Photos from the celebration captured the Emir and his wife radiating happiness, as dignitaries and members of the royal household joined them in marking the memorable occasion.

The anniversary also reaffirmed the enduring bond between the two prominent royal families of Kano — the Sanusi and Bayero dynasties.
