Nigeria's Bola Tinubu will on Monday take over as president of Africa’s most populous country at a period of unprecedented challenges, leaving some citizens hopeful for a better life and others skeptical that his government would perform better than the outgoing one.
A former governor of Lagos, Nigeria’s economic hub, Tinubu, 71, will succeed President Muhammadu Buhari to lead a country that by 2050 is forecast to become the third most populous nation in the world, tied with the United States after India and China.
