As part of his commitment to bridging the gap in safety investigations, the Director General of the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB),
Capt. Alex Badeh visited the Chief Executive Officer of Asky Airlines, in Lomé, Togo, Mr. Esayas Hailu.
The high-level engagement, Badeh hinted, marked a significant step in fostering regional cooperation and mutual alignment on aviation safety, investigative transparency, and technical training.
Badeh in a statement on Saturday added that the meeting focused on strengthening bilateral ties between Nigeria’s Transportation Accident Investigation Agency and West Africa’s leading carriers.
Badeh noted: “This visit goes beyond being a gesture of goodwill; it is a deliberate step towards building a network of trust, cooperation, and accountability in West African aviation.
“We believe that together, through shared knowledge and operational integrity, we can ensure the skies remain safe for all,” he stated.
“We are moving away from a system where aviation rules are written in response to tragedy. Our focus is on building a framework grounded in science, data, and technology to stay ahead of threats.
“This shift enables us to detect risks before they escalate into incidents, spot trends before they become statistics, and prevent tomorrow’s accidents today.
“This approach requires open collaboration with key stakeholders, grounded in trust and knowledge exchange.”
Also, Hailu affirmed Asky Airlines’ commitment to advancing a culture of safety through strategic partnerships.
He stated, “We are honoured to host the Director General and his team. At Asky Airlines, our priority is to meet and exceed safety standards.
“Collaboration with investigative authorities like the NSIB helps us remain responsive, transparent, and fully aligned with international best practices,” he noted.
