The Managing Director, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Capt. Kabir Yadudu Mohammed has hinted that the proposed ‘Park and Pay’ policy at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja will commence on September 29, 2022.
This followed the federal government then approved the commencement of the new service.
Recall that in a letter dated August 16, 2022, FAAN sought the approval of the Minister of Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika, to obtain the necessary federal government approvals to introduce the service.
FAAN stated that the military and paramilitary personnel, government officials, and politicians as well as their aides are not exempted.
However, dedicated car lots would be provided for them for a fee as there might be no free parking anywhere within the terminal environment.
The letter reads in part: “taking the current security situation of the country into consideration, it is important to be more organized and orderly within the airport.
“As such, rowdiness in the drop-off area and parking lots, improper parking, parking in restricted areas, unnecessary congestion in front of the terminal and all forms of unruly behaviour should be avoided by all airport users and passengers alike.”
“There will also be a redefinition of the VIP/VVIP parking lots and introduction of dedicated parking lots for corporate organizations and the above-mentioned categories of highly enticed individuals going forward”.
FAAN has already produced a flyer to educate airport users on the new development.
It reads: “From September 29th, 2022 pay parking would commence” and “there will be dedicated parking lots for private and public protocols committed to enhancing their experience to sustain our core values – safety, security and comfort.”
FAAN will also provide dedicated parking lots that will attract premium annual payments for certain categories of very important personalities in the Airport.

This is a HUGE and BLATANT SCAM by the FAAN. WHY DO INDIVIDUALS NEED TO PAY THE ENTRY TOLL FEE AND ALSO PAY FOR PARKING AGAIN?? Why are they trying to unnecessarily burden Nigerians with double taxes that do not have any evident impact on the livelihood of the people, or the staff of the airport, let alone the airport conditions?? ALL well meaning Nigerians should resist paying and call upon the FCCPC to look into this EVIL SCAM!
