The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) held a stakeholder engagement session on Friday to guide cargo operators through documentation requirements for its upcoming Integrated Cargo Stakeholders Registry (ICSR).
Organized by FAAN’s Directorate of Cargo Development and Services (DCDS), the event took place at the FAAN Terminal Two Conference Room in Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
It gathered representatives from freight forwarders, cargo agents, airlines, ground handling companies, courier operators, and truckers in the cargo ecosystem.
In a statement released on Monday, FAAN highlighted the session’s focus, “FAAN Engages Cargo Stakeholders on Documentation for Integrated Cargo Stakeholders Registry.”
The registry aims to build “a centralised and verified database of legitimate operators across the cargo value chain at FAAN airports.”
FAAN emphasised the benefits, noting that the initiative will “support improved coordination, compliance, and operational transparency, while also strengthening access control within cargo operational areas by ensuring that only duly documented and authorized stakeholders operate within restricted zones.”
The meeting also covered other DCDS initiatives “to enhance cargo operations and support the continued growth of Nigeria’s air cargo sector.”
Stakeholders were urged to complete documentation promptly to ensure seamless operations.
