The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) started deploying the V-Pass facial recognition system at Nigerian domestic airports in July 2026. This biometric technology rollout marks a move to modernize airport operations within the country.
The V-Pass system has been introduced across domestic airports in Nigeria to improve passenger processing and security measures. FAAN aims to streamline the boarding process and enhance overall airport security through facial recognition technology.
Passengers on domestic flights within Nigeria will encounter biometric facial recognition checks as part of boarding procedures. The use of this system is expected to deliver faster and more secure boarding
experiences at domestic airports nationwide.
