The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has announced the resumption of direct revenue collection at the cargo terminals of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, ending a 15-year break.

The development was contained in a statement issued by FAAN’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Obiageli Orah, via the official X account on Saturday.

According to the statement, officials from the Directorate of Cargo Development and Services are now deployed at the cargo release points of the Nigerian Aviation Handling Company and Skyway Aviation Handling Company warehouses to supervise real-time collection of accrued cargo charges.
