The training is an offshoot of the Second meeting of the BAGAIA Commission, which was recently held between December 13 to 15,  2017 in Praia, Cape Verde, where the Commissioner of AIB, Akin Olateru proposed to the BAGAIA Commission to host the Air Accident/Serious Incident Report Writing Training.

The training will also cover fire investigation, managing large-scale accident and incident investigation, emergency response and record investigation among others.

Nigeria, Cape Verde, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone are members of the BAGAIA accord group.

As the host, the AIB’s Commissioner, an aircraft engineer disclosed that the commission would seize the opportunity to have 20 of it’s safety investigators to be part of the training.

Olateru has invited the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Presidential Air Fleet, the Nigerian Navy and the Nigeria Air Force to be part of the training as such institutions  also investigate its own incidents/accidents to be part of the training.

“Capacity development, infrastructural improvement, system and process re-engineering remain our focus in making sure that AIB contributes meaningfully to aviation safety for the common good of all. We are very pleased to be hosting the BAGAIA training as accident and incident report writing is a very important aspect to investigation”, Olateru added.
