Controversy surrounds FAAN's use of armed protection at international airports.

Reactions to the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria's (FAAN) decision to station armed Aviation Security (AVSEC) officials around the nation's international airports are conflicting. Not only are opinions split over the development, but there has also been discussion of the facts surrounding the growing number of security guards carrying weapons. In separate interviews with Vanguard, a few airline security specialists expressed displeasure that international visitors who are afraid of guns could not find them appealing, claiming that it could negatively impact their mental health. Others, on the other hand, argued that the development was justified due to a number of events that occurred in the 1980s and 1990s, and they thus demanded that the perspective be abandoned.
