“Following the presidential directive that all citizens are mandated to pay for e-tags at all the 24 federal airports across the country, we wish to inform the general public that the e-tags are available for sale from Friday, 17th May 2024 at the following locations,” it said.

“Council has approved that henceforth nobody will be exempted from paying for access into our airports,” said Minister Keyamo. “The President and the Vice President have also said they should not be excluded from this new policy.”
