The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has disclosed that effective from September 29, 2025, all payments at FAAN’s revenue points, including airport Access Gates, Car Parks, FAAN VIP, and Protocol Lounges “will go cashless.”
“This means we will be phasing out the collection of cash across all airports beginning with Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja,” it stated in a press statement released Friday.According to the statement, the management said the policy was in partnership with Paystack, Operation Go Cashless.
The statement read further, “This initiative responds to the growing demand for safe, modern, and transparent payment systems while ensuring Nigeria’s airports remain aligned with global digital trends.
“By reducing reliance on cash, FAAN aims to enhance efficiency, improve revenue assurance, and deliver a better customer experience at our airports.
“The Initiative is to ease the transition, trained brand ambassadors have been deployed at access gates and around the terminals to guide users, assist with on-boarding, provide demonstrations, and answer questions they may have.
“In addition, passengers can obtain a FAAN Go Cashless Card at any airport access gate in Lagos and Abuja.”
It added, “After collection, users are encouraged to activate and fund their cards immediately by visiting www.gocashless.faan.gov.ng.”
