FAAN resumes access gate fee collection at Abuja airport after two-week suspension 

The charges had been suspended for two weeks, starting January 24, due to inconveniences caused by ongoing road construction at the airport.

The announcement was contained in a public notice signed by FAAN’s management and shared via the official X (formerly Twitter) account of the Authority on Saturday.

“The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) wishes to inform the general public that the authority has officially resumed collection of access gate fees at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja at 8:30am, 8th February, 2025,” the notice read in part.  

FAAN expressed appreciation to the public for their understanding and cooperation during the suspension period. The access gate fees, which apply to vehicles entering the airport premises, were temporarily halted to ease movement amid construction activities.

With the resumption of fee collection, authorities assured travelers and motorists of improved access and smoother traffic flow as work on the airport road progresses.

Naijaonpoint earlier reported that in May 2025, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) approved a policy mandating that all users of federal airports in Nigeria must pay tolls at the gates, with no exceptions, including high-ranking officials such as the President and Vice President.

This directive was introduced to standardize toll collection and enhance airport infrastructure funding.

With the expiration of the two-week suspension period, all travelers, motorists, and airport visitors must now pay tolls at the gates of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport to gain access, in line with FAAN’s policy on federal airport tolls.
