The Federal Government of Nigeria has approved the deployment of a contactless biometric passenger verification system, known as VPASS, across Nigeria’s domestic airports as part of efforts to strengthen aviation security, enhance data integrity and improve revenue generation.
Verxid Technologies will deploy a secure and integrated identity management system across Nigeria’s airports. The facial recognition initiative is designed to eliminate discrepancies in passenger data arising from inconsistent airline records, while also addressing unauthorized boarding practices.
Verification measures are already in place for international travel throughout Nigeria and the VPASS system will later be expanded to cover private aviation.
