Risk management, means of minimizing accident in the aviation industry in nigeria

Abstract

Risk management is a fundamental component of aviation safety, particularly in a developing country like Nigeria where the aviation industry continues to face unique challenges. As one of the fastest-growing sectors in Africa, Nigeria’s air transport system plays a pivotal role in economic development, connectivity, and globalization. However, the sector is also confronted by risks ranging from infrastructural deficiencies and regulatory lapses to human error, technical failures, and environmental hazards. The complexity and high stakes of aviation operations demand a structured approach to managing risks, which is critical for minimizing accidents and ensuring passenger safety.
