Murtala Mohammed Airport Terminal 2 (MMA2) has announced that its multi-storey car park will switch to a cashless payment system starting Monday, March 23, 2026.
The announcement was made via the terminal’s official X account on Thursday, with management stating the change is aimed at providing a faster, smoother, and more convenient parking experience for travelers and visitors.
During a short transition period, cash payments will only be accepted at the rooftop level, while all other levels will require cashless payment methods such as cards or electronic transfers via POS terminals.
“From Monday 23rd March 2026, the Multi-Storey Car Park (MSCP) moves to a cashless payment system. For a short transition period, cash payments will only be available at the rooftop level,” part of the statement read.
MMA2 confirmed that additional payment options are being developed and will be introduced in the coming months to make parking even more convenient. Travelers are encouraged to prepare for the new system ahead of its launch as part of ongoing efforts to modernize airport services and reduce delays.
The move to cashless payments is part of MMA2’s broader modernization efforts aimed at improving operational efficiency and customer experience. This follows the earlier rollout of cashless payments at FAAN-managed airports nationwide on March 1, 2026, which initially faced operational challenges leading to congestion and missed flights.
While the federal government temporarily suspended cashless payment at other airports, MMA2—which is privately managed by Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited (BASL)—is moving forward independently with the initiative.
MMA2, the first Nigerian airport terminal concessioned to a private operator, began operations in 2007 under a Design-Build-Operate-Transfer arrangement. The terminal handles 60 to 65 daily flight departures, with Lagos–Abuja being the busiest domestic route, and manages 30 to 40 tons of domestic cargo daily. It currently hosts 10 airlines, including all major domestic carriers in Nigeria.
