NIGERIA’S Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) said at the weekend that it was seeking assistance from African Development Bank (AfDB)

The bureau said it reached out to the AfDB, following the decision of the United States government to discontinue its sponsorship of the programme from next year.

Olateru said the U.S. government, which had sponsored the programme for many years, did not give any reason for its action. According to him, the programme has impacted positively many African countries, which got training assistance from the U.S Department of Transportation and the National Transportation Safety Board .

The AIB chief said talks were ongoing to partner the International Civil Aviation Organization to facilitate the mechanism for release of the funds from AfDB for execution of the programme.
