Another bright spot is the meeting by aviation authorities within the sub region to access the accident and hopefully to chart a much safer path moving forward.CONCLUSIONWe are still waiting for the Committee’s report on this tragedy and would also urge government to convene a round table discussion of experts within the industry to come up with a white paper on improving aviation standards in the country.We hope and pray that this incident will not occur again Insha AllahSignedSHAIBU ABDUL NASIRUAg.
