Show Notes

Bola Tinubu was officially sworn in as President of Nigeria just over 100 days ago.

Since then, opposition candidates Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi have alleged widespread fraud in the election.

But last week, Nigeria’s Appeal Court rejected challenges to his narrow victory. The problems President Tinubu inherited are huge. There’s widespread insecurity, the cost of living crisis, high unemployment, a shrinking oil industry and high inflation. So how’s he begun to deal with those challenges? And are people happy with the job he’s doing so far? Africa Daily’s Mpho Lakaje has been looking at this with the BBC’s Chris Ewokor in the capital Abuja.
