FAAN suspends Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport access gate fees until February 7, 2025 

This suspension, which took effect on Friday, January 24, 2025, and will run until February 7, 2025, is part of efforts to ease traffic congestion caused by ongoing construction activities.

The construction of a second runway at the airport has significantly disrupted traffic flow, prompting FAAN to implement this measure to mitigate the inconvenience experienced by road users.

This announcement was made on Saturday through an official post on FAAN’s X account, where the authority reaffirmed its commitment to reducing disruptions and ensuring a smoother travel experience for all.

... read: “The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) wishes to inform the general public that, all access gate fees at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport are suspended to alleviate the traffic burden on our airport road users. 

“This suspension will take effect from 24th January 2025 to 7th February 2025. 

“We deeply emphathize for the inconvenience caused by the ongoing construction and remain committed to ensuring a smoother travel experience for all road users.” 

The suspension aims to ease traffic on the airport’s access roads affected by construction activities, providing temporary relief to travelers and staff. FAAN urges the public to support ongoing infrastructure improvements and cooperate during this period.

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.

Meanwhile, to ease traffic congestion caused by construction activities at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, FAAN suspended access gate fees from January 24 to February 7, 2025. This suspension offers temporary relief to travelers and staff affected by disruptions from the ongoing construction of a second runway at the airport.
