FAAN INTRODUCES CASHLESS PAYMENT SYSTEM ACROSS NIGERIA’S AIRPORTS

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has launched Operation Go Cashless, a cashless contactless payment solution, in partnership with Paystack, at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, effective September 29, 2025. Management of FAAN said the initiative aims to provide fast and seamless services to travelers and airport users while aligning Nigeria’s airports 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,” Management stated. FAAN remains committed to continuous improvement and will expand this cashless policy to other airports nationwide in phases, FAAN Management added.

To ease the transition, trained brand ambassadors have been deployed at access gates and around the terminals to guide users and assist with onboarding. Passengers can obtain a FAAN Go Cashless Card at any airport access gate in Lagos and Abuja, and are encouraged to activate and fund their cards immediately by visiting (link unavailable), Management explained.

Airport users can contact FAAN’s support line at 0700-CBS-FAAN (0700-227-3226) or email gocashlesssupport@faan.gov.ng for inquiries. FAAN Management assured that the authority is dedicated to enhancing the overall airport experience through this modern payment system.
