FAAN to Launch Facial Verification System at Lagos and Abuja Airports

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) plans to launch its Airport Passenger Verification System, known as vPASS, on Nov. 16 at Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos. The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, is expected to unveil the system. Passengers will register once using their National Identification Number and facial verification. After registration, they can use facial recognition to pass through electronic gates at designated airport entrances. The first rollout phase will cover the domestic terminals at Murtala Muhammed Airport and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja. FAAN says the system is intended to strengthen identity checks, reduce reliance on physical documents and make airport access more efficient.
