FAAN Bans ‘Ghana Must Go’ Sacks At Airports by Islie: 8:22am On Dec 01, 2023


The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), has prohibited the use of travel sacks, ‘Ghana Must Go’ by passengers at all the nation’s airports.

According to a 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, 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 noted that passengers who wish to use Ghana Must Go to travel must have the same well package in carton or hardcover of rectangular size.

LEADERSHIP reports 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.

The popular Ghana Must Go sack which comes in different sizes is very popular among many Nigerian travellers because of its light weight and capacity to carry more loads.

Abeg make we dey try calm down for this country, everyone just para anyhow.

Tinubu announced budget and people no even send the budget, its like we have given up on serious issues in this country, Ghana Must Go bag is the least of the country's problems.

They should replace the weak conveyor belts at the airports with stronger ones and leave our GMG bag alone

Is it because the bag is the common package for drugs at the airport? It will seriously affect FLATS.

How can Ghana must go bag destroy anything? It's the load inside the bag that can destroy something. Even if you use plastic or strong leather bag, if the bag is heavy, it will still destroy something.

They should have said that they don't want to continue using the bag in international airport because of Ghana. It can create some kind of misunderstanding between the two nations. Imagine calling the bag "Ghana must go" in front of Ghanaians. So, Instead of renaming the bag, they chose to ban it from "INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS".

Article is misleading.

Ethiopian Airlines and not FAAN has prohibited the use of the bags on their flights effective 25 November 2023.

The Ethiopian Airlines has placed a ban on the popular Ghana Must Go Bags for Airline Travellers on any of its flights from Nigeria.

The ban was contained in a letter signed by its Manager of Airport Services, Henok Gizachew, to the regional Manager of the Federal Airports Authority Of Nigeria.

The Airlines added that the use of the popular bag for packaging has cost it huge losses arising from damage to its conveyor belts and Other equipment in the Course of operations.

It added that the damage to equipment is not peculiar to Ethiopian Airlines alone but to Other Foreign Airlines in the Country.

It however offered a reprieve for users of the bag to continue to use them to package their luggage with a caveat that they must come in an external container or carton to protect them from damaging equipment.

After all, most of the Ghanaians don go.



The ugly history of Africa’s most famous bag


President Shehu Shagari issued an executive order in January 1983 compelling illegal aliens to leave the nation or risk being arrested. Shagari's decree resulted in the deportation of almost two million migrants, one million of whom were citizens of Ghana.

And the cheapest bags they could find to hurry out were the sacks, hence, the name, “Ghana must Go”

the bag is good for carrying foodstuffs and the bad is almost weightless unlike some boxes that already weigh 3kg out of the 23 kg allowed.
