The Accident Investigation Bureau Nigeria (AIB-N) has transmuted into the National Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) empowered to investigate road, rail and marine accidents.
This followed the signing into law of the new NSIB Act 2022 by President Muhammed Buhari this week after the Supreme Court gazetted it on November 28, 2022.
In its new status, the Bureau can now investigate serious incidents and accidents in the aviation industry, maritime, rail and road sectors following the repeal of the AIB Act.
LEADERSHIP reports that the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau will enhance investigations into the causal effects of accidents of various modes of transportation including rail and maritime in a bid to provide recommendations the nation can learn from.
