FAAN to begin cashless payment at Lagos, Abuja airports September 29
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), in partnership with Paystack, says it will begin cashless and contactless payment at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, and the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, beginning from Sept. 29.
FAAN announced this in a statement signed by its management in Abuja on Friday.
It said that all payments at revenue points such as access gates, car parks, VIP and protocol lounges would be made only through cashless channels.
The authority said the initiative, known as “Operation Go Cashless”, would help provide fast and secure payment, reduce reliance on cash, and improve customer experience at airports.
According to FAAN, the system will also enhance revenue assurance and align Nigeria’s airports with global digital trends.
It added that trained brand ambassadors had been deployed to guide users, assist with onboarding, provide demonstrations and answer questions during the transition.
“Passengers can obtain a ‘FAAN Go Cashless Card’ at airport access gates in Lagos and Abuja, and activate it immediately via www.gocashless.faan.gov.ng.
“FAAN remains committed to continuous improvement and will expand this cashless policy to other airports nationwide in phases,” the authority said.
It urged airport users to contact its support line at 0700-227-3226 or email gocashlesssupport@faan.gov.ng for inquiries.
