The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, has launched ‘operation go cashless’, a contactless and cashless payment system.
In a statement on Thursday, FAAN stated that the initiative was launched in collaboration with Paystack.
DAILY POST reports that the payment system is expected to be deployed from September 29 at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, and the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
“Effective September 29, 2025, all payments at FAAN’s revenue points, including airport Access Gates, Car Parks, FAAN VIP and Protocol Lounges will go cashless which means we will be phasing out the collection of cash at these points.
“Travelers and airport users will now enjoy fast and seamless services by using a secure contactless payment option,” the statement read.
According to FAAN, the move is in response to increasing demand for secure, modern, and transparent payment systems and part of efforts to keep Nigeria’s airports in step with global digital standards.
The agency said by reducing reliance on cash, the move aims to enhance efficiency, improve revenue assurance, and deliver a better customer experience at airports.
The FAAN reaffirmed its commitment to continuous improvement, adding that the cashless policy will be rolled out in phases across other airports nationwide.
