President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN to immediately suspend its newly introduced cashless policy at airport gates nationwide.
The directive follows widespread traffic congestion recorded at major airports after the policy was rolled out.
The cashless system was introduced four days ago.
Passengers and motorists reported gridlock at entry points, leading to delays and long queues.
The president ordered the suspension pending further review.
More details are expected.
Conflict Reporting is dangerous and risky. Our reporters constantly face life-threatening challenges, sometimes surviving ambushes, kidnap attempts and attacks by the whiskers as they travel and go into communities to get authentic and firsthand information. But we dare it every day, nonetheless, in order to keep you informed of the true situation of the victims, the trends in the conflicts and ultimately help in peace building processes. But these come at huge cost to us. We are therefore appealing to you to help our cause by donating to us through any of the following means. You can also donate working tools, which are even more primary to our work. We thank you sincerely as you help our cause.
