The deaths are associated with students who were on a field trip to @YankariGReserve recently. As an advocate for tourism in Bauchi, I have received calls and messages regarding this, and I think this message isn't loud enough. Fellow Nigerians, we need to talk!
Four deaths have so been recorded and others hospitalized. The students died in Borno State after returning from the trip in Bauchi. Premium Times in a report also gathered that a similar case was reported in Kano after some students visited Yankari in August.

There might be an outbreak, and we can't merely just talk about it casually. Are the staffs at @YankariGReserve or others who have come in contact being quarantined? Is the Reserve currently shutdown until perhaps, @Fmohnigeria & @NCDCgov can categorically say something?
We must act and act fast. I understand the avoidance of steering panic but that we don't know exactly what we are dealing with calls for more action. Three States have so far been mentioned. The public must be enlightened so any similar case can be tracked & treated accordingly.
Nigeria, please let's not sleep on this. Let's act! Everyone plays a part. @BauchiState @Fmohnigeria @NCDCgov @FMEnvng @WHONigeria
The @NCDCgov has just confirmed this as a case of Yellow Fever. Please read Press Release for your understanding of the situation: ncdc.gov.ng/news/192/press…
