For motorists without tags, FAAN said there will be a cash
payment option for them.
The move came days after the Minister of Aviation and
Aerospace Development Festus Keyamo said there would be payment of tolls at
airports. He said the payment is for everyone including President Bola Tinubu
and his vice Kashim Shettima.
“Council has approved that henceforth nobody will be
exempted from paying for access into our airports,” the minister said.
“The President and the Vice President have also said they
should not be excluded from this new policy.”
