FAAN announces sale of E-tags for federal airports access from today 

This announcement was made in a statement posted on the official X (formerly Twitter) account of FAAN. 

According to the statement, the sale of E-tags aligns with a presidential directive approved in the latest Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, which mandates that all users of federal airports across the country must pay tolls at the gates. 

Furthermore, the statement noted that motorists who do not have E-tags will have the option to pay cash at the access gates before passing.  

The statement also provided the locations and contact information for obtaining E-tags at the international airports in Lagos and Abuja. 

At Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, the public can obtain E-tags at the Office of the Head of Department of Commercial Operations, Terminal 1, 5th floor, or by calling 08033713796 or 08023546030. 

At Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, E-tags can be obtained at the HOD Commercial Office at the General Aviation Terminal, or by calling 08034633527 or 08137561615. 

The FEC meetings held on Monday and Tuesday resulted in the approval of 21 policies and projects aimed at boosting the economy, facilitating investments, and promoting the ease of doing business in the country.  

Among these policies, the FEC approved a mandate that all users of federal airports across the country must pay tolls at the gates before gaining access, with no exceptions. This policy will apply to everyone, including the President and Vice President.  

According to the X post of Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to President Tinubu, that highlighted the approved policies and projects of the last FEC meeting. 

With the FAAN E-tags, motorists can access the gates of federal airports for a year, while those without an E-tag will need to pay cash at the gates to gain entry.  

The cost of each tag is not yet known at the time of this report.
