The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) on Friday said it has commenced cashless system of payment at all its airports across the nation.
The payment policy, FAAN said is in partnership with Paystack and will begin with Lagos and Abuja airports.
A statement by the Authority said: “FAAN in partnership with Paystack, is proud to announce the roll out of operation go cashless, a cashless contactless payment solution across all airports beginning with Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja,”.
The Authority said 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. This means the agency will be phasing out the collection of cash at these points.
FAAN added that travelers and airport users will now enjoy fast and seamless services by using a secure contactless payment option.
It stated that the initiative is a response 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 said it aims to enhance efficiency, improve revenue assurance, and deliver a better customer experience at our airports.
“To ease the transition, trained brand ambassadors have been deployed at access gates and around the terminals to guide users, assist with onboarding, provide demonstrations, and answer questions they may have. In addition, passengers have been directed to obtain a FAAN Go Cashless Card at any airport access gate in Lagos and Abuja.”, it added.
After collection, FAAN asked users to activate and fund their cards immediately by visiting www.gocashless. faan.gov.ng.
The Authority added that it remains committed to continuous improvement and will expand this cashless policy to other airports nationwide in phases.
