Bola Tinubu takes oath as Nigeria's president amidst challenges

Bola Tinubu has been sworn in as Nigeria's president, succeeding Muhammadu Buhari amid hopes and skepticism. Tinubu has promised to build on Buhari's efforts to deliver democratic dividends to citizens in a country where deadly security crises, widespread poverty, and hunger have left many frustrated and angry. However, his ambitious plans could be threatened by a mountain of challenges, from insecurity to a fiscal crisis, poverty, and deepening public discontent with the state. Tinubu must act quickly and decisively to tackle Nigeria's security crises with the country already in a critical situation.
