The Federal Government has approved new staff conditions of
service for the Accident Investigation Bureau.
The General Manager, Public Affairs, AIB, Mr Tunji Oketunbi,
said on Tuesday that the approval was conveyed in a letter dated
June 25, 2019, and sent to the bureau from the office of the Head
of Civil Service of the Federation.
According to him, this is the first time the AIB will be having
its own condition of service since it was established as an
autonomous agency 12 years ago.
He said the AIB was established through the Civil Aviation Act
2006 but became operational in 2007, adding that before then, it
was a department in the then Federal Ministry of Aviation.
“Before now, the agency had been using the conditions of service
of a sister agency while its struggles to have its own for several
years had been unsuccessful,” Oketunbi said.
In a statement by the agency, the Commissioner and Chief
Executive Officer, AIB, Mr Akin Olateru, was quoted to have said
the move was important for the entire members of staff of the
bureau, towards improving their welfare and motivation in
discharging their best at their various duty posts to enhance air
safety.
