The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has prohibited the usage of a travel bag popularly known as Ghana Must Go for travellers using the country’s airports.
Chronicle NG reports that the rule applies to those travelling through the country’s international airports
FAAN said the use of the sac as a means of packing baggage has cost airlines huge losses and also damaged the conveyor belt system.
It stated this in a circular entitled ‘Re: Prohibition of Usage of Ghana Must Go,” signed by Manager, Airport Services, Henok Gizachew, and dated November 24.
The circular was issued to airlines using the country’s international airports, and the airlines have in turn notified their travel partners and passengers.
One of the airlines, in a message to the passengers, said, “Please be informed that effective November 25, 2023, the usage of Ghana Must Go to travel on our flight is hereby prohibited.”
An airport official, chatting with reporters, stated that anyone who needs to use the sac must wrap it before it can be accepted.
