In its drive to ensure sustainable cooperation with relevant authorities for a safer airspace in Nigeria, Accident Investigation Bureau Nigeria (AIB-N) has reiterated its commitment to maintain partnership and institutional collaboration with the Nigerian Airforce (NAF).
This was made known on Wednesday in Abuja by Commissioner / Chief Executive Officer of the Bureau, Engr. Akin Olateru, while receiving the newly appointed Abuja Military Airport Commandant, Group Capt. B. A. Usman at the Bureau’s Head Office in Abuja
Olateru stated that the NAF has the Bureau’s full support and cooperation in ensuring a safer airspace in Nigeria.
He disclosed that AIB-N, as a government agency, has a strong relationship with the NAF, which was sealed with a pact between the two government establishments.
“AIB-N cannot do it alone. A strong collaboration must exist among relevant agencies in order to ensure the continuous safety of the Nigerian air space,” the Commissioner said.
While soliciting for the Bureau’s support, Group Capt. Usman disclosed that his team was seeking ways to consolidate the existing synergy between the agencies to ensure maximum safety and security within and outside the airports environment.
The Commandant further urged the Bureau not to hesitate to call NAF in times of distress, assuring the AIB-N of readiness of a rapid response at all times.
