Tinubu Moves Transport Safety Bureau to Presidency

President Bola Tinubu has directed the Transport Safety Investigation Bureau to relocate to the Presidency, overriding the previous stance of Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo. This decision is expected to place accident investigations under closer supervision of the Presidency, potentially strengthening oversight across the transport sector.

The move comes after months of disagreement regarding the bureau's operational independence from the Ministry of Aviation. Keyamo, who remains the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, has maintained that the bureau should operate independently.

This shift is part of Tinubu's broader strategy to enhance accountability and improve service delivery within government operations. The directive reflects Tinubu's commitment to addressing safety concerns in the transport sector and ensuring that investigations into accidents are conducted effectively and transparently.
