Bola Ahmed Tinubu was inaugurated as Nigeria's 16th president on Monday, May 29, 2023. The ceremony took place at the Eagle Square in Abuja, the country's capital. Tinubu, a 71-year-old former governor of Lagos State, defeated incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari in the February 2023 election.
In his inaugural address, Tinubu promised to unite Nigeria and improve the lives of its citizens. He also pledged to tackle the country's security challenges and economic problems.
"I am here today to take the oath of office as the 16th president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria," Tinubu said. "I do so with a heavy heart, but also with a sense of hope. I know that Nigeria is a great country with a bright future. But we must work together to make that future a reality."
Tinubu's inauguration was attended by a number of foreign dignitaries, including United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken and United Kingdom Foreign Secretary Liz Truss.
Tinubu's presidency is seen as a new beginning for Nigeria. He is the first president from the southwest region of the country, and he is the first president to come from the opposition party since the return of democracy in 1999.
Tinubu faces a number of challenges as he takes office. Nigeria is facing a number of security challenges, including the Boko Haram insurgency and the banditry crisis. The country is also facing an economic crisis, with high inflation and unemployment.
However, Tinubu is a seasoned politician with a long track record of success. He is confident that he can overcome the challenges facing Nigeria and lead the country to a brighter future.
