To ensure security efficiencyand accountability at in the nation’s airport/terminals; Nigeria air travellers will start using digital toll gates at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja by the end of May.
The digital gates will be managed by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), in partnership with First Bank Nigeria Plc and another private firm.
According to Henrietta Yakubu, FAAN, Abuja airport spokesperson: “The automated service became imperative to plan against insecurity as well as ensure transparency in the collection of fare at the airport entrance,” adding that “people will no longer stand there collecting N200.”
“There will be a bar at the entrance. If they don’t put the correct amount of money or a chip, as the case may be, the bar will not lift. I can confirm to you that it is something that will take place very soon.
“We are planning to go on air to educate members of the public on this because there is nowhere in the world where people park to pay money at airports. It will not only speed up the process, but will boost security at the airport.”
Yakubu lamented that FAAN had been losing huge sums of money to motorists, amidst other illegalities.
“There are a lot of drivers who do not want to pay. There are a lot of recycling of tickets and so many other things going on, she said.
