The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has enforced a ban on the use of matted woven bags, popularly known as Ghana-Must-Go by travelers using the airports.
The Manager of Airport Services made this announcement in signed a circular titled, “Re: Prohibition of Usage Of Ghana Must Go”.
In the circular, FAAN explained that the nation’s airlines were steadily incurring huge costs due to the damages caused by the use of the infamous Ghana-Must-Go bags, used mostly for the convenient packaging belongings.
According to FAAN, the bags have a way of causing serious breakdowns to the conveyor belt system of airports.
All Nigerian airlines were issued this notice and instructed to convey the message to their passengers and travel partners.
Passengers were advised to forfeit Ghana-Must-Go bags and instead, use cartons or something related to it for the packing of items for travelling. Also, luggage brought in the prohibited bags must be well wrapped before the airports can accept them.
The ban took effect on November 25, 2023 in some of the airports.
