Arowojobe Assumes Duty As Safety Investigation Bureau Spokesperson

Newly appointed spokesperson of the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB), Mrs Funke Adebayo Arowojobe, has assumed office as director, Public Affairs and Family Assistance.

Her appointment followed the recent redeployment of senior directors in key aviation agencies by the Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development, a move widely viewed as a deliberate strategy to enhance governance alignment, operational efficiency, and cross-agency collaboration.

Arowojobe brings to NSIB a wealth of experience spanning over two decades in communications, insurance, stakeholder engagement and corporate governance.

At NSIB, she is expected to bring fresh perspectives to NSIB’s public affairs strategies, enhance public understanding of transportation safety issues and lead a renewed drive toward enhanced consumer engagement mechanisms.

The Public Affairs and Family Assistance Directorate plays a crucial role in ensuring that investigation updates are communicated responsibly while safeguarding the integrity of technical findings and the interests of affected stakeholders.

Her assumption of office comes at a time when transparency and communication are increasingly central to sustaining public confidence in aviation safety oversight.

Prior to her redeployment, she served as director, Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet), where she played a pivotal role in repositioning the agency’s public interface and strengthening consumer-focused communication.

During her tenure at NiMet, she championed structured stakeholder engagement platforms that bridged the gap between technical meteorological services and end users, including aviation operators, agribusiness stakeholders, disaster management agencies, and the media.

A seasoned professional with deep roots in risk management and insurance, Arowojobe’s transition into public sector communications has been characterised by strategic messaging, crisis communication expertise and a commitment to transparency.
