The Accident Investigation Bureau, AIB, has faulted the Nigerian Senate’s claim that the agency is keeping the reports of investigation into air crashes in the country from the public.
A lawmaker had during plenary, last Tuesday, said that the investigative reports on Sosoliso crash of 2005, Bellview crash of 2005, ADC crash of 2006 and Dana crash of 2012 were yet to be in the public domain.
The AIB said that the reports in question, like many others, are on the AIB’s website.
The agency added that it is saddened by what it describes as an unjustified vilification of the bureau on the floor of the Senate as according to the AIB, the allegation is mostly incorrect, and that the Senate was misinformed.
The Nigerian Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) is under the Ministry of Aviation and is responsible for the investigation of civil aircraft accidents and serious incidents within Nigeria.
The Fundamental Objective of AIB is to improve aviation safety by determining the circumstances and causes of air accidents and serious incidents and making safety recommendations intended to prevent recurrence of similar accidents in future.
