NSIB Signs Contract With AAAU To Mitigate Aviation Accidents

The Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau has disclosed signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the African Aviation and Aerospace University to prevent and mitigate accidents in the country’s transport sector.

This was revealed in a statement signed on Thursday by the Director, Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, NSIB, Bimbo Oladeji.

While speaking at the ceremony held at the NSIB Training School in Lagos, the Chief Executive Officer of NSIB, Alex Badeh, noted that the MoU set the stage for facility sharing, capacity building, and collaboration between the Bureau and AAAU.

Badeh said, “I am confident that this MoU will enhance the effectiveness of our collaboration and commitment to promoting safer skies and operational excellence in the aviation industry in Nigeria and beyond."

Also, applauding the bureau’s invaluable support and partnership, the Registrar of AAAU, represented by the Director of Physical Planning and Works, Masud Yerima, said, “The journey of AAAU’s establishment and progress would have faced considerable challenges without NSIB’s generous support.”

He also expressed AAAU’s readiness to engage in mutually beneficial endeavours with NSIB, ensuring the successful realisation of shared objectives.

The AAAU registrar noted that the partnership marks a significant milestone in fostering a culture of safety and excellence within Nigeria’s aviation sector, and both NSIB and AAAU are poised to leverage this synergy for the benefit of the industry and the nation at large.
