ASABA 2018: Journalists Urged To Complete Media Accreditation

Two months to the end of the accreditation process for the Asaba 2018 African Senior Athletics Championships, journalists across the country and beyond have been advised to complete the process on time to avoid a late rush.

Olukayode Thomas, Head of Communications and Media in a statement over the weekend enjoined all interested journalists yet to complete the application process to do so on time as there will be no extension to the deadline date already announced.

“’We are happy with the response so far by journalists across the continent and even outside to be part of the Asaba 2018 Championships. We enjoin everybody that want to cover the event to do the needful by going to the website to register” he stated.

“The deadline for applications for media accreditation, media car park sticker, and media hotel accommodation remains June 30, 2018.” He added

The accreditation process can be easily done by visiting http://caaasaba2018.com.ng/ media-accreditation/ to fill the form online.

Interested journalists are expected to fill out one registration form for each member of their team; as a group or team application will not be accepted.

Already, it has been stated that Non-Rights Holders will only be allowed to bring cameras and/or recording equipment onto the event site for the purpose of carrying out non live reports.

There will be no access with this camera to the stands or any location with view to the live action.

Also, the deadline for booking accommodation in the official media hotels is June 30, 2018, while for Media Friends outside Nigeria, the accreditation will serve as their visa.

The Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba, Delta State, will host the Asaba 2018 African Senior Athletics Championships from August 1-5.
