AIB in Groundbreaking collaboration with Nigerian Air Force

The Accident Investigation Bureau Nigeria (AIB-N), in line with its inter-agency collaboration agenda has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Nigerian Air Force (NAF). The MoU was signed on July 1, 2020.

In a statement, Commissioner/CEO AIB-N, Engr Akin Olateru stated that, “Our duty, as Accident Investigators of Civil Aviation, is one thing but understanding one’s needs is very critical to the success of an institution.”

Outlining the many benefits to the respective Agencies involved, and to Nigeria as a whole, the Commissioner confirmed that the Bureau is actively seeking similar collaboration with the Nigerian Navy, Nigerian Police Force (NPF), Federal Road Safety Corporation (FRSC), and Nigerian Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).

Olateru intimated that this agenda is hinged on the importance of mutual knowledge exchange, human capacity development and shared resources in the pursuit of excellence in service delivery.

This groundbreaking development, the first of its kind in the history of AIB Nigeria, occurred barely a week after the courtesy visit of the Air Force Commandant to the Bureau’s Head Office in Abuja.

The Bureau, under this current administration, is focused on engendering relationships which enable excellence and enduring world-class standards in the investigation and prevention of Air Accidents  in Nigeria
