The Federal Government has prohibited the use of "Ghana Must Go" sacks at airports.


 


The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has issued a circular titled 'Prohibition of Usage Of Ghana Must Go', announcing a ban on the use of 'Ghana Must Go' travel sacks by passengers at all of the country's airports. The ban specifically applies to passengers traveling through the nation's international airports. The circular, dated November 24, and signed by Henok Gizachew, Manager, Airport Services, emphasized that the use of these sacks has resulted in substantial losses for airlines and has caused damage to the airports' conveyor belt systems.

Gizachew outlined that passengers intending to use 'Ghana Must Go' bags for travel must ensure that they are well-packaged in a carton or hardcover of a rectangular size. The move comes in response to the widespread use of these sack-like bags, which has been linked to the breakdown of conveyor belt systems in various airports across the country, resulting in significant financial burdens for the airport authority.

The 'Ghana Must Go' sack, available in various sizes, has gained popularity among Nigerian travelers due to its lightweight nature and ability to carry larger loads.
