The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) is set to launch Operation Go Cashless contactless payment solution across all airports, beginning with Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
Effective September 29, all payments at FAAN’s revenue points, including airport access gates, car parks, FAAN VIP and protocol lounges, will go cashless.
Travellers and airport users will now enjoy “fast and seamless services using a secure contactless payment option,”.

The initiative is a direct response 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 within the terminals to guide users, assist with onboarding, provide demonstrations, and respond to enquiries.
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.”
