Mr Haruna Iddrisu, the Minister of Education has been involved in a road crush on his way to Tumu in the Sissala East Municipality.

The Minister, together with Mr Mohammed Adams Sukparu, the Deputy Minister Communication and Digital Technology are in stable condition and receiving attention at the Tumu Government Hospital, while his driver sustained a hand fracture.

The Minister and his delegation were on their way to participate in the 40th anniversary celebration of the Tumu College of Education.

The accident occurred around 11 am on Thursday morning between Banu and Kunchokor on the Tumu-Navrongo Highway.

Mr Bening Adamu Yakubu, the Sissala East MCE told the GNA that he received a distressed call around 11 am that an accident had occurred between Banu and  Kunchokor involving two government officials.

Other sources told the GNA that the accident was said to have been caused by a motorist who crossed the convoy and, in the process, the driver lost control due to the clog of dust resulting in the accident.

Mr Alhassan Zakaria, the Education Minister’s driver who sustained a fracture in the hand is also responding to treatment.

The area is currently under construction by Mawums Construction Ltd following the cutting of sod by President John Dramani Mahama for the Big Push project.
