A team of accident
investigators from Nigeria’s Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) has left Lagos
for São Tomé and Principe to investigate the recent crash of an A-74 aircraft,
which occurred on the West African Island.
The Head of the AIB Public
Affairs, Mr Tunji Oketunbi, made this known in a statement issued to newsmen in
Lagos on Thursday.
Oketunbi explained that
the invitation to Nigeria’s AIB came from São Tomé and Principe through the
Banjul Accord Group Accident Investigation Agency (BAGAIA), which is an arm of
the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).
According to him, all
costs and expense associated with the said investigation would be borne 100 per
cent by the government of São Tomé and Principe.
He said the invitation was
“first of its kind” in AIB’s history and coming on the heels of the rising
performance profile of the bureau.
