The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), has prohibited the use of travel sacks,popularly referred to by Nigerians as ‘Ghana Must Go’ by passengers at all the airports in the Country.
According to a released circular by FAAN, titled, ‘Re: Prohibition of Usage Of Ghana Must Go’, signed by Manager, Airport Services, Henok Gizachew, dated November 24, the ban is particularly for passengers travelling through the country’s international airports.
Gizachew in a statement released gave reasons for the ban.He stated that the sack was banned by the authority because it has cost the airlines huge loss and also damaged the airports conveyor belt system.
He also noted that passengers who wish to use the ” Ghana Must Go” travel bag to travel must have the same well package in carton or hardcover of rectangular size.
Reports has it that the use of the sack-like bag has been attributed to the breakdown of many of the country’s airports’ conveyor belt systems and one that has put enormous costs on the shoulders of the airport authority.

However, 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.
