Can't connect to outlet if class is loaded programmatically

I have the following problem: There is a view with the class UniObjectsTableViewController in the storyboard and AreasTableViewController inherits from this class. Then I load the class AreasTableViewController from code in the following way:

let areaViewController = AreasTableViewController()
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(areaViewController, animated: true)

UniObjectsTableViewController has an outlet to a SDStateTableView.

@IBOutlet var stateTableView: SDStateTableView!

If I try to print the outlet in the viewDidLoad() method of the AreasTableViewController it's nil.

print(stateTableView) => nil

Is there any way to acces the outlets of a motherclass in the inherited class?

Step 2: Open the base class under Manual in the Assistant editor, then you can command+drag Step 2: Open the base class under Manual in the Assistant editor, then you can command+drag

let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let areaViewController = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "ChildViewController")
