The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has reached an agreement with Customs Licensed Cargo Agents operating at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, on the proposed review of cargo port charges.
The agreement was finalised at a stakeholders’ meeting held on Monday, February 9, 2026, at the MMIA Terminal 2 Conference Room. The meeting was chaired by the Director of Cargo Development and Services, Mr Lekan Thomas.
Following deliberations, both parties agreed on a revised port charge of ₦15.00 per kilogram. The new rate represents a compromise from the earlier proposed ₦20.00/kg and an upward review of the existing ₦7.00/kg.
The outcome, according to FAAN, reflects a spirit of dialogue, partnership and shared responsibility between the Authority and cargo operators.
Speaking on the development, FAAN’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Mr Henry Agbebire, said the resolution is expected to enhance the ease of doing business at MMIA while supporting sustainable airport and cargo infrastructure development.
“The Authority reaffirms its commitment to continuous stakeholder engagement, the SEDI (Safety, Efficiency, Development and Innovation) principles, and the ongoing modernization of cargo terminal facilities,” Agbebire said.
The revised charge is part of broader efforts to strengthen cargo operations at Nigeria’s busiest airport and ensure improved service delivery within the aviation logistics value chain.
