President Bola Tinubu has ordered the suspension of the cashless policy introduced by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN). The directive follows concerns raised by airport users and stakeholders over implementation challenges.

Reports indicate that the policy had required all payments within airport premises to be made electronically. However, complaints about network failures and limited payment options reportedly prompted a review.

The President’s decision is seen as a move to ease difficulties faced by travelers and businesses operating at airports. Officials are expected to reassess the policy and address operational gaps before any reintroduction.

Observers say the suspension reflects the government’s willingness to respond to public feedback. Stakeholders now await further clarification on the next steps regarding payment systems at Nigerian airports.
