A devastating vehicle explosion on the Keffi-Kugbo road in Abuja has left multiple casualties in need of immediate blood transfusions. In response, the National Blood Service Agency (NBSA) has issued an urgent appeal for blood donations from Nigerians, particularly residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Director General of NBSA, Prof. Saleh Yuguda, emphasized that hospitals and emergency response teams are working tirelessly to save lives, but an adequate blood supply is crucial to their efforts. Yuguda urged all eligible donors to visit designated blood donation centers and hospitals across the FCT to make voluntary blood donations.
