PREMIUM TIMES journalist, others win at 2022 Africa Fact-Checking award

Mr Yusuf’s fact-check President Muhammadu Buhari's claim of “leaving Nigeria better than he found it” won the coveted runner-up award.

PREMIUM TIMES journalist Kabiru Yusuf has emerged as the runner-up in the Working Journalist category at the African Fact-Checking awards, the longest-running awards programme honouring fact-checking journalism in Africa.

“I am immensely proud of my team member Yusuf for his glory at the Africa Checks Awards,” said Taiwo Adebayo, PREMIUM TIMES’ head of investigations and data desk. A 2022 climate fellow of the Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development , Mr Yusuf has authored more than 300 reports on education, migration, gender, foreign affairs, data analysis on budget and matters of public spending.“But I realised that getting this recognition at the continental level emphasises the many other needs remaining in our resolve always to hold government officials, public figures, and corporations accountable.

The Africa Check awards have three categories: Fact-Check of the Year by a Working Journalist; Fact-Check of the Year by a Professional Fact-Checker; and Fact-Check of the Year by a Student Journalist.
