Faan defends cashless policy at airports amidst chaos

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has defended its cashless policy at the nation's airports despite reports of chaos.

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has stated that the full enforcement of electronic payments and collections at the nation's airports will help address certain issues, amid ongoing chaos associated with the policy. This defense comes as the authority pushes for a complete shift to cashless transactions at airport facilities across the country. The policy aims to streamline operations through digital means, though it has led to disruptions for travelers and stakeholders. FAAN's position highlights the benefits of electronic systems in modernizing airport services in Nigeria. The enforcement is part of broader efforts to improve efficiency in public infrastructure.
