The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has initiated the sale of E-tags, which will grant access to the 24 federal airports in Nigeria.

The initiative announced via FAAN’s X handle on Friday is set to begin today, May 17.

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) meetings earlier in the week resulted in the approval of 21 policies and projects to boost the economy, attract investments, and enhance business operations in the country.

Among these decisions, the FEC mandated that all users of federal airports must pay tolls at the gates, without exception, including the President and Vice President.

The FAAN’s public announcement states that the E-tag sale follows a presidential directive approved in the latest FEC meeting, enforcing the toll payment requirement for airport access.

In its statement, FAAN indicated that motorists without E-tags can pay cash at the access gates to enter the airport, and those who do not comply will be denied entry.

The statement also included the locations and contact details for obtaining E-tags at the international airports in Lagos and Abuja.

The announcement reads, “At Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, the public can obtain E-tags at the Office of the Head of Department of Commercial Operations, Terminal 1, 5th floor, or by calling 08033713796 or 08023546030.

“At Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, E-tags can be obtained at the HOD Commercial Office at the General Aviation Terminal, or by calling 08034633527 or 08137561615.”
