The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has announced that the sale of E-tags, which allow entry into the country’s 24 federal airports, will begin today, May 17, 2024.
This announcement was announced in a statement posted to FAAN’s official X (previously Twitter) account.
According to the statement, the sale of E-tags aligns with a presidential directive approved in the latest Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, which mandates that all users of federal airports across the country must pay tolls at the gates.
“Following the Presidential Directive that all citizens are mandated to pay for E-Tags at all the 24 Federal Airports across the country, we wish to inform the general public that the E-Tags are available for sale from Friday, 17th May, 2024,” the statement read in part.
Furthermore, the statement noted that motorists who do not have E-tags will have the option to pay cash at the access gates before passing.
The statement also provided the locations and contact information for obtaining E-tags at the international airports in Lagos and Abuja.
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.
