Halimat is the second daughter and last child of the family.
She will be tying the knot with her groom, Alhaji Auwal Lawal Abdullahi, who holds the traditional title of Sarkin Sudan Gombe.
The groom is said to be an easygoing, unassuming and charming businessman.
All arrangements have been concluded for the wedding and invitations sent to prominent Nigerians, across the country.
The events leading to the wedding Fatihia begins on Thursday 11 May with the cultural night.
The wedding prayers will take place at the Hilltop Villa of the former military President Minna by 2.30 pm.
