There is also a cash payment option for motorists without tags, according to FAAN.
The move came days after the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, said there would be payment of tolls at airports.
He said the payment is for everyone, including President Bola Tinubu and his vice president, Kashim Shettima.
“The council has approved that henceforth nobody will be exempted from paying for access to our airports,” the minister said.
“The President and the Vice President have also said they should not be excluded from this new policy.”
