"The Tough Road Ahead for Nigeria's President Tinubu"

Bola Tinubu faces five major challenges as he takes over as Nigeria's president, including ending the fuel subsidy, lack of popular support, fixing the economy, kidnapping and insecurity, and staying fit and avoiding potential controversies. Tinubu, a two-time governor of Lagos, has experience in revitalizing Nigeria's commercial hub and is known for his capacity to listen and consult widely before making tough decisions. He has promised to end the fuel subsidy, but removing it will lead to an increase in prices and may face opposition from Nigerians. Tinubu's administration will also have to confront armed criminals, countrywide kidnapping, and a violent secessionist group.
