The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), in collaboration with Paystack, has announced the rollout of a cashless and contactless payment system at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, and the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, effective September 29.
In a statement issued on Friday in Abuja, FAAN said the initiative—branded “Operation Go Cashless” will ensure that all transactions at revenue points, including access gates, car parks, VIP and protocol lounges, are conducted exclusively through cashless channels.
FAAN explained that the move is designed to deliver faster and more secure payment options, reduce dependence on cash, and enhance customer experience across the airports. The authority added that the system would strengthen revenue assurance while bringing Nigeria’s airports in line with global digital trends.
To ease the transition, FAAN confirmed that trained brand ambassadors have been stationed at the airports to guide users, assist with onboarding, provide demonstrations, and answer questions.
“Passengers can obtain a ‘FAAN Go Cashless Card’ at airport access gates in Lagos and Abuja, and activate it immediately via www.gocashless.faan.gov.ng.
“FAAN remains committed to continuous improvement and will expand this cashless policy to other airports nationwide in phases,” the authority said.
Airport users seeking further assistance have been advised to call FAAN’s support line at 0700-227-3226 or email gocashlesssupport@faan.gov.ng
