The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, has announced plans to introduce V-Pass, a biometric facial recognition system designed to make passenger processing faster, safer and more seamless across domestic airports.
According to FAAN, the technology will allow passengers to verify their identities through facial recognition after a one-time enrolment.
The authority said this will reduce reliance on physical identification documents and shorten queues through automated electronic gates.
FAAN added that the system is expected to enhance airport security while improving the overall travel experience for domestic passengers.
The agency said V-Pass has been developed with data privacy at its core and is compliant with the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation, NDPR.
FAAN described the initiative as part of its commitment to delivering smarter, technology-driven airport services.
The authority said nationwide sensitisation and rollout updates would be announced in due course.
