Several journalists were injured on Friday in a road accident while covering the project commissioning tour of the North East Development Commission (NEDC) in Bauchi State.
The crash occurred along the Yashi–Yelwan Duguri Road in Alkaleri Local Government Area, shortly after the delegation inaugurated a Government Secondary School (GSS) project in Yelwan Duguri.
Reporters from Channels Television, AIT, NTA, Arise News and other media organisations were part of the convoy accompanying the Minister of State for Regional Development, Alhaji Uba Maigari Ahmadu, on the assignment.
They sustained serious injuries and were taken to Yelwan Duguri Hospital for emergency treatment before being transferred to the Bauchi General Hospital for further medical attention.
The delegation also included the Chairman and Managing Director of the NEDC, the Deputy Governor of Bauchi State and other senior officials.
