Abuja airport registers10, 000 ‘Go Cashless’ cards
Ahmed Danjuma, the airport manager at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, says 10,000 ‘Go Cashless’ cards have been registered by the airport since the commencement of implementation.
Mr Danjuma disclosed this in an interview on Tuesday in Abuja.
He explained that the temporary gridlocks experienced on Monday and the early hours of Tuesday at the toll gate were a result of the full implementation of a nationwide cashless toll policy.
According to Mr Danjuma, although registration began in August 2025, the majority of airport users did not register on time, despite the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria’s sensitisation efforts.
”Since March 1, we have gone cashless in line with the policy of this government to eliminate the collection of cash at toll gates. The move aligns with the federal government’s broader reforms.
”The policy aims to enhance transparency and revenue optimisation, which no previous administration fully implemented.
”We have been announcing it before now for airport users to get their FAAN cards, so that when you get to the gate, you just tap and the barrier opens. Now, If you go to any FAAN gate and you want to pay cash, you will be disappointed because nobody will allow you to pass through,” said Mr Danjuma.
