Aviation Minister Threatens To Sack Airport Officials Who Fail To Comply With Directive.
The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development Festus Keyamo, has threatened to sack airport officials than risk being removed by the President for failing to fully implement the airport cashless access policy.
The minister made this threat during an on-the-spot assessment of the implementation of the hybrid payment system, which began Friday, March the 13th, 2026.
To fast-track the transition, concessionaires have been engaged to modernise airport access gates, with a subcommittee reviewing proposals from multiple operators.
The minister emphasised that once the system is fully automated, no individual including VIPs will be exempted from payment at airport gates, underlining the government’s commitment to fairness and accountability.
He assured that a massive sensitisation campaign will be carried out across the country, to educate travellers and airport users on the new cashless system, as Nigeria moves toward a fully automated and modernised airport payment process.
