Journalists, numbering 13, from various media organisations have been involved in a road accident while covering the commissioning of projects by the North East Development Commission (NEDC) in Bauchi State.
The accident occurred during a project inspection tour led across the State on Friday which was led by the Minister of State for Regional Development, Alhaji Uba Maigari Ahmadu.
The accident occurred along the Yashi-Yelwan Duguri Road in Alkaleri Local Government Area of Bauchi State, shortly after the delegation commissioned a Government Secondary School (GSS) project in Yelwan Duguri.
The journalists sustained varying degree of injuries and were rushed to Yelwan Duguri Hospital for emergency treatment before arrangements were made to transfer them to the ATBU teaching hospital for further medical attention.
The injured journalists are from Channels Television, NAN, AIT, NTA, Arise, and other members of the Correspondents’ Chapel, from various media houses covering the event.
Members of the delegation included the Minister of State for Regional Development, the Chairman and Managing Director of the Commission, the Deputy Governor of Bauchi State and other government officials.
