The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), in partnership with Paystack, has announced the roll-out of OPERATION GO CASHLESS.
The management of FAAN in a release say the operation is a cashless contactless payment solution across all airports beginning with Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
FAAN disclosed that with effect 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 which means that the agency will be phasing out the collection of cash at these points.
As a result of this, travellers and airport users will now enjoy fast and seamless services by using a secure contactless payment option.
FAAN says this initiative is in respond 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.
FAAN noted that 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 can obtain a FAAN Go Cashless Card at any airport access gate in Lagos and Abuja. After collection, users are encouraged to activate and fund their cards immediately by visiting www.gocashless.faan.gov.ng.
FAAN says it remains committed to continuous improvement and will expand this cashless policy to other airports nationwide in phases.
