THE Deputy Minister of Education, Mr Mahama Ayariga is responding to treatment at the Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH) where he has been hospitalised after he was involved in an accident in the early hours of Sunday.
At press time, yesterday (Sunday), he was being attended to by specialists at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), after he had earlier on been operated upon.
The Chief Executive Officer of the TTH, Dr Ken Sagoe said the hospital would brief the media on the situation of the deputy minister at a time deemed appropriate.
Information gathered by this paper revealed that Mr Ayariga was on his way to Tamale from Bolga along with his driver and another passenger when they crushed onto a cargo truck parked on a portion of the road at Nasia, in the West Mamprusi district.
The driver of the vehicle and the other passenger, whose names were not given, sustained minor injuries and were treated and discharged.
The Northern Regional Minister, Mr Moses Bukari Mabengba, who visited Mr Ayariga at the hospital, told the Daily Graphic that the deputy minister was recuperating.
“I could not gather much from him on the nature of the accident and how he was feeling because he was in pain,” he stated.
The Minister commended the doctors at the TTH for their swift response, adding that “they have done a good job on Ayariga.”
