The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), in partnership with Paystack, has rolled out Operation Go Cashless, a contactless payment solution across all airports beginning with Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

A statement by the management said effective September 29, 2025, all payments at FAAN’s revenue points, including airport Access Gates, Car Parks, FAAN VIP and Protocol Lounges would go cashless, phasing out the collection of cash at these points. 

“Travelers and airport users will now enjoy fast and seamless services by using a secure contactless payment option.

“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.

“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,” said the statement.

In addition, it said passengers could 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 remains committed to continuous improvement and will expand this cashless policy to other airports nationwide in phases.

“For inquiries, airport users may contact our support line at 0700-CBS-FAAN ( 0700-227-3226) or email us at gocashlesssupport@faan.gov.ng,” concluded the statement.
