The Acting Commissioner of the Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigation and Prevention Bureau (AIB) Ghana, John M.K. Wumborti, has commenced a series of familiarisation visits to key stakeholders in the aviation and safety sectors.
His first visit was to the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), where he engaged with the Chief Fire Officer (CFO), Mrs. Daniella Mawusi Ntow Sarpong, and her team.
During the visit, John Wumborti emphasised AIB’s commitment to its core mandate of preventing aircraft accidents and incidents through collaboration and stakeholder engagement.
He noted that strengthening ties with institutions like the GNFS is crucial to fostering a proactive safety culture within the aviation industry.
“We believe that by working closely with stakeholders such as the Ghana National Fire Service, we can collectively implement effective measures to prevent aviation-related accidents and ensure swift emergency responses when incidents occur,” Wumborti stated.
Ntow Sarpong welcomed the initiative and expressed her appreciation for the Commissioner’s proactive approach.
She highlighted the pivotal role GNFS plays in safeguarding lives and property through robust fire prevention and emergency response strategies.
“This visit by the Commissioner of AIB is a testament to the importance of inter-agency collaboration. GNFS remains committed and ready to support any initiative that enhances public safety and disaster preparedness,” she said.
The Commissioner was accompanied by a team of officers and aircraft investigators, who also interacted with their GNFS counterparts during the visit.
This engagement marks the beginning of a broader stakeholder outreach campaign by AIB aimed at strengthening partnerships across sectors that contribute to aviation safety and emergency preparedness.
