Air Peace Airlines Tuesday, faulted the report released by the
Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB), suggesting that the airline
had consistently failed to file Mandatory Occurrence Report (MOR)
on incidents involving its aircraft.
The Chief Operating Officer of Air Peace, Mrs Oluwatoyin
Olajide, in a statement issued yesterday in Lagos, said the AIB’s
allegation was a gross misrepresentation of facts.
The AIB had accused the airline of failing to report an incident
which occurred on May 15 to the Bureau.
It said that an Air Peace Boeing 737-300 with registration
number 5N – BUK, had made a hard landing in Lagos on account of
sudden change in weather at the point of touch down.
The Bureau said the airline only reported the incident, after
its team visited its corporate headquarters in Lagos on June 6,
about three weeks after the incident.
However, Olajide said contrary to the Bureau’s claim, Air Peace
had duly notified the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), of
the incident on May 16.
She said the airline also followed up with a written
communication and subsequently filed an MOR on May 17 with
reference number APL/QM/279/19 to the regulatory agency.

9th NASS: Sen. Oloriegbe Assures Constituents of Fair,
Quality Representation
Following the official inauguration of ninth National Assembly,
the Senator representing Kwara Central Senatorial District,
Distinguished Senator, Sen. (Dr.) Ibrahim Yahya Oloriegbe has
expressed his heartfelt appreciation to the people of Kwara, most
especially, those of his constituents, for their shows of support
and the trust placed in him as their representative in the National
Assembly.
In his appreciation message duly signed by him, the newly
inaugurated lawmaker expressed his profound gratitude to his people
while reiterating on his promises of fair and quality
representation.
The message, in parts, read thus: “First and foremost, I give
special thanks to Almighty Allah for His continuous guidance and
stamping of His blueprint of success right from the very beginning
of this incredible journey.
“It’s with the most deepest of gratitude, that I give
appreciation to my people for this great honour accorded me as
their representative in our nation’s assembly. This gratitude is
too ponderous to be expressed for the sacred trust and unwavering
confidence reposed in me. It’s an honour which I’m deeply conscious
of, grateful for and which I’m fully prepared to dedicate my life
for, in order to deliver unfailingly.
“I, therefore, pledge and commit myself to deliver on my
promises to the people and to always make their interests take
precedence in all my dealings as an elected representative.
“Mandatory upon me, have I made to apply the standards of
fairness, accountability and quality representation in the
discharge of my representative’s duties and responsibilities to my
people.
“Great are the people’s expectations. Deep are their yearnings
and longings for a better Kwara. Equally, my conscious of these
things and readiness to dutifully commit myself to their
realizations, are of similar if not of greater intensity.
“My people have come a long way. The long walk to freedom has
been tedious. The sacrifices are numerous. Many times, the
intensity of the journey takes it tolls, but the spirit of
togetherness and the oneness of purpose have taken us this far to
put me here. Deeply aware am I of all these which makes me
reiterate again on the assurance that; I, certainly, will not fail
the people. Insha Allah, Kwara will be great than before.”
Signed:
Distinguished Senator,
Dr. Ibrahim Yahya Oloriegbe
Kwara Central Senatorial District
