BREAKING: FAAN resumes access gate fees at Abuja airport

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria resumed collecting access gate fees at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on February 8, 2025.

Recall, the charges were suspended for two weeks from January 24 due to disruptions caused by ongoing road construction.

This was disclosed in a public notice signed by FAAN’s management via the official X (formerly Twitter) account of the Authority on Saturday.

“The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) wishes to inform the general public that the authority has officially resumed collection of access gate fees at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja at 8:30am, 8th February, 2025,” the notice read in part.

FAAN thanked the public for their understanding and cooperation during the suspension. The access gate fees, which apply to vehicles entering the airport, were temporarily halted to ease movement during construction.

Authorities assured travelers and motorists of improved access and smoother traffic flow as construction on the airport road continues.

FAAN had suspended access gate fees from January 24 to February 7, 2025 to ease traffic congestion caused by construction at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

This provided temporary relief to travelers, airport workers, and transport operators affected by disruptions from the second runway project.
